Success of microbiota transplants may depend on specific bacterial strains

Targeting specific bacterial strains, rather than overall gut diversity, can help develop effective microbiota therapies.

Hidden gut bacteria may be key to a healthy microbiota

Uncultured gut bacteria, particularly one group called CAG-170, are key contributors to a healthy microbiota. 

Stem-like cells in the gut sense commensal bacteria to recruit protective immune cells

E. coli 541-15 helps the colon recruit key immune cells that can develop into macrophages.

Gut bacteria may be linked to low sperm quality at high altitudes

The findings reveal a gut-testis interplay that may explain why low oxygen environments reduce male fertility at high altitudes.

Oral Microbiome: a new window on systemic health—and a clinical opportunity for evidence-based probiotics

Gianfranco Grompone, Chief Scientific Officer at BioGaia GA, discusses the new evidences about oral microbiome.

Nutrient competition may predict how gut microbes respond to drugs

Nutrient competition provides a predictive framework to anticipate and potentially mitigate drug side effects on the gut microbiota.
