Huge trove of virus species found in the human gut

The Gut Phage Database, within more than 140,000 viral species, is a blueprint to guide ecological and evolutionary analysis in future virome studies.

Modifying the gut microbiota: the past, the present, and the future

In a Perspective published in Science, surgeon-scientist Jennifer Wargo explores recent advances in modulating the microbial community within the human gut.

A new study assessed that transplantation of human microbiota into mice durably reshapes the gut microbial community.

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.

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.
