Christophe Lacroix: ‘Our challenge is to culture anaerobic bacteria’

PharmaBiome has developed unique technologies to access the entire range of intestinal bacteria. We met Christophe Lacroix, Founder of Pharmabiome.

Biofilm-coated bacteria could help to treat gastrointestinal infections

Researchers have developed an approach that uses bacterial biofilms to increase the ability of the gut microbiota to survive and reside in the gastrointestinal tract.

New approach shows how microbial communities in the gut alter drug safety and efficacy

Researchers have found that the community of bacteria in a person’s gut can alter how well they metabolize drugs.

The path towards microbiota-based therapies

In a commentary published in Cell, five experts discuss the challenges and opportunities of microbiota-based therapies.

Microbes development from old world monkey to human might have influenced social behavior and evolutionary community trends

Researchers at North Carolina State University have underlined the evolutionary interplay between microbiomes development and human social structures.

Mouth microbiota composition could predict the outcome of stem cell transplants

A study published in PLOS Pathogens suggests that the oral microbiota could be used to predict the outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplants.

Cohabiting twins can share microbial gut strains for decades

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, showed the existence of shared gut microbial strains in twins, even after years post separation.

How the microbiota regulates gut homeostasis

A new study, published in Nature Microbiology, sheds light on how gut microbes influence the equilibrium of the gut under healthy and disease conditions.

Gut microbes could have helped mountain-dwelling people survive at high altitudes

The gut microbes of native Himalayan and Andean people could have helped them to survive at high altitudes, a new study claims.

Gut bacteria could determine whether exercise prevents diabetes

The bacteria in our gut could influence the efficacy of exercise in preventing diabetes, a new study published in Cell Metabolism shows.
