gut microbiota
Scientific research
A new study published in Genome Medicine suggests that international travel poses a high risk by favoring the global spread of antimicrobial resistance.
Gastroenterology
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe illustrates how different dispersal strategies can allow bacteria to persist in the human gut.
Gastroenterology, Nutrition
A high-fat diet is associated with changes in the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites. These changes seem impair antibiotic efficacy.
Nutrition
Hafnia alvei HA4597® produces ClpB, a protein that acts through molecular mimicry of the satiety hormone alpha-MSH and regulates appetite.
Gastroenterology
A new study published in Cell could help to detect infection outbreaks and study the distribution of antibiotic-resistant microbes in different urban areas.
Nutrition, Pediatrics
Cowpea-based foods protect the gut microbiota, helping malnourished children to grow stronger. A new study published in Cell Reports Medicine claims.
Pediatrics
The composition of a baby’s first stool could determine whether children are likely to develop allergies and other conditions later in life.
Gastroenterology
Specific food dyes are environmental risk factors for colitis development in conditions where IL-23 expression is dysregulated.
Pediatrics
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe claims that the infant gut is home to bacteria that harbor hundreds of antibiotic-resistance genes.
Gastroenterology, Immunology
A new study published in Cell Host & Microbe could pave the way for using phages as biomarkers for the condition of rheumatoid arthritis.
