Gut microbiota, immunity and diet: twenty years of research and the future of personalized nutrition
Francisco Guarner, from Centro Médico Teknon in Barcelona (Spain), discussed the most recent researches in the field of microbiome and nutrition.
Pediatrics
Boosting the gut metabolite indoleacrylic acid (IA), either directly or through the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis, help protect the gut and prevent NEC.
Gynecology
Using probiotics such as LACTIN-V after antibiotic treatment could help prevent bacterial vaginosis, opening the way for tailored treatments based on individual microbiota profiles.
Gastroenterology
The findings suggest that targeting specific gut microbes or their metabolites could boost fat-burning and metabolism in response to specific diets.
Neuroscience
Targeting gut bacteria, their metabolites, or gut-to-brain signaling could offer new strategies to prevent or treat age-related memory decline.
Industry
The agreement covers the development and future commercialization in Europe of VOWST®, the first oral LBP approved in the United States to prevent recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection.
