The role of the gut microbiota in brain development and behaviour is emerging. New research demonstrates that maturation and activation of microglia are regulated by the gut microbiota, providing more evidence for the link between the microbiota and brain health.doi:10.1038/nrmicro3516Waldron, DeniseNature Reviews Microbiology
"In a healthy, high-diversity background we didn't capture a lot of adaptation, maybe because this is the background that Nissle is used to," said first research author Aura Ferreiro, a graduate student at the university. Nissle is a large granular body found in neurons. But when the re...
Stool samples had a microbial composition typical for the healthy adult gut32 (Fig. 1b). Microbiome profiles of sorted MSNs had high technical reproducibility, with technical replicates only contributing to 1.1% of the variation in the dataset (PerMANOVA, p = 0.576). The largest source of...
But his follow-up studies indicate the human gut microbiome has changed greatly, compared with our current primate cousins. He found 85 microbial varieties in the guts of wild monkeys, but just 55in people in US cities. Besides, people in less developed parts of the world have between 60 ...
Research suggests the gut bacteria in healthy people are different from those with certain diseases. People who are sick may have too little or too much of a certain type. Or they may lack a wide variety of bacteria. It’s thought some kinds may protect against ailments, while others may ...

Subdoligranulum didolesgiihas not been detected in the feces of healthy people before, and it is currently unknown how prevalent this bacteria is in the general population. We also found that these bacteria can activate specialized immune cells called T cells in people with rheumato...
The genusBifidobacteriumconsists of filamentous anaerobes, many of which are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract, vagina, and mouth. In fact,Bifidobacteriumspp. constitute a substantial part of the human gut microbiota and are frequently used as probiotics and in yogurt production. ...
A few commonly used non-antibiotic drugs have recently been associated with changes in gut microbiome composition, but the extent of this phenomenon is unknown. Here, we screened more than 1,000 marketed drugs against 40 representative gut bacterial strains, and found that 24% of the drugs with...
Researchers at theUniversity of ColoradoSchool of Medicine have found that a unique bacteria found in the gut may be responsible for causing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients who are already predisposed to the autoimmune disease. A group of researchers from the Division of Rheumatology worked on...
