The gut microbiota: a major player in the toxicity of environmental pollutants?

Sandrine P. Claus, Hervé Guillou, Sandrine Ellero‐Simatos · 4 May 2016

Exposure to environmental chemicals has been linked to various health disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer and dysregulation of the immune and reproductive systems, whereas the gastrointestinal microbiota critically contributes to a variety of host metabolic and immune functions. We aimed to evaluate the bidirectional relationship between gut bacteria and environmental pollutants and to…

Blautia genus associated with visceral fat accumulation in adults 20–76 years of age

Naoki Ozato, Shinichiro Saito, Tohru Yamaguchi et al. · 4 Oct 2019

Abstract The gut microbiota is reported to be related to obesity, and visceral fat is reported to be strongly associated with cardiovascular disease and overall mortality. However, the association between the gut microbiota and obesity has mainly been studied using body mass index (BMI) as a proxy for obesity. We investigated the relationship of both…

Analysis of microbial compositions: a review of normalization and differential abundance analysis

Lin Huang, Shyamal Peddada · 2 Dec 2020

Increasingly, researchers are discovering associations between microbiome and a wide range of human diseases such as obesity, inflammatory bowel diseases, HIV, and so on. The first step towards microbiome wide association studies is the characterization of the composition of human microbiome under different conditions. Determination of differentially abundant microbes between two or more environments, known…

High-resolution bacterial 16S rRNA gene profile meta-analysis and biofilm status reveal common colorectal cancer consortia

Julia L. Drewes, James R. White, Christine M. Dejea et al. · 23 Nov 2017

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the third most common cancer worldwide, with a growing incidence among young adults. Multiple studies have presented associations between the gut microbiome and CRC, suggesting a link with cancer risk. Although CRC microbiome studies continue to profile larger patient cohorts with increasingly economical and rapid DNA sequencing platforms, few common…

Piggyback-the-Winner in host-associated microbial communities

Cynthia B. Silveira, Forest Rohwer · 6 Jul 2016

Phages can exploit their bacterial hosts by lytic infection, when many viral particles are released at cell lysis, or by lysogeny, when phages integrate into the host's genome. We recently proposed a new dynamic model of bacteria-phage interactions in which lysogeny predominates at high microbial abundance and growth rates. This model, named Piggyback-the-Winner (PtW), contrasts…

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes template — frequently asked questions
