A new study published in Nature Microbiology shows that the risk of colonization with C. difficile is highest during recovery from acute diarrhea.
Allergology, Pediatrics
A study suggests that the effects of dietary interventions during pregnancy are mediated by different factors, including the infant airway microbiota.
Gastroenterology
The gut microbiota plays a role in the noncommunicable diseases. Now a theory suggests that these conditions could be transmitted through the gut bacteria.

The modulation of the microbiota impacts on the efficacy of the new anti-PD-1 cancer therapies. We discuss it with Giorgio Trinchieri (NIH, USA).
Dentistry, Pediatrics
Researchers have identified oral bacterial species that are elevated in children before they develop dental caries.
Pneumology
Researchers have found that lung bacteria could help to predict how well people in intensive care will respond to treatment.
Geriatrics, Neuroscience
A new study published in Cell Reports suggests that a common gut microbe could slow—and even reverse—the build-up of a protein associated with Parkinson's.
Gastroenterology
Researchers have found a class of metabolites that can shift the gut microbiota towards an IBD-like composition.
Infectiology, Otolaryngology
Staphylococcus epidermidis contributes to a healthy nasal microbiota, likely by stimulating the production of antimicrobial molecules in the nose.
Gastroenterology
Researchers developed an algorithm that revealed dozens of previously unknown compounds in the human gut.

Philippe Langella, Research Director at INRA, explains how Christensenella could help establish an eubiotic gut microbiota in the elderly.
Gastroenterology
The recovery of the gut microbiota after antibiotic treatment depends on the host’s diet and on environmental factors, a study published in Cell Host & Microbes claims.
Oncology
Researchers have started to figure out how the gut microbiota contributes to the development of peripheral neuropathy, a common side-effect of chemotherapy.
Infectiology, Pediatrics
A study in mice shows that part of maternal milk’s protective effects comes from the bacteria that reside in the mother’s gut.
Infectiology, Pediatrics
Gut bacteria could be responsible for a life-threatening disease called necrotizing enterocolitis, which occurs mainly in premature babies.
Dermatology, Oncology
A new study published in Science Translational Medicine reveals why EGFR inhibitors, which are approved to treat cancers such as lung and colorectal cancer, cause severe skin side effects.
Immunology
Changes in the proportion of some gut bacteria could promote graft-versus-host disease. That’s according to a new study done in mice, published in Science.
Scientific research
The gut microbes of native Himalayan and Andean people could have helped them to survive at high altitudes, a new study claims.
Nutrition
Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine reviewed the body of evidence that shows how added sugars and sweeteners shape the gut microbiota.
