Probiotics, defined as live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host, are considered a valid and novel alternative for the prevention and treatment of female urogeni...

Abstract The global rise in mental health conditions has prompted interest in interventions that act beyond conventional psychopharmacology. Psychobiotics, broadly understood as live microorganisms or microbe‐derived p...

It is widely known that traditional northern hunter–gatherers such as the Inuit included putrid meat, fish, and fat in their diet, although the ubiquity and dietary importance of decomposing animal foods seem often to ...

Introduction: In recent decades, Caribbean coral reefs have lost many vital marine species due to diseases. The well-documented mass mortality event of the long-spined black sea urchin Diadema antillarum in the early 198...

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is a common upper respiratory tract (URT) pathobiont with high carriage rates in the upper airway disease chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). CRS is associated with increased prevalence and abund...

The gut microbiota has co-evolved with its host and forms an essential component of the human body. It is acquired at birth and continues to develop alongside the host, preserving its diversity and stability throughout l...

The composition of the upper respiratory tract (URT) microbiota is shaped by both anatomical niches and host immune defenses. Older adults (>65 years) are at greatest risk of acquiring severe URT infections. However, ver...

IntroductionVaginal seeding has been proposed to restore the microbiome of babies born via caesarean section, but the associated risk of infection is unknown. We present the first case of disseminated candidiasis after v...

Background22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS, also known as DiGeorge) affects 1/2,150 individuals. The deletion results in variable clinical phenotypes: thymic hypoplasia or aplasia, hypoparathyroidism, cardiac defects...

To understand the impact of gut microbes on human health and well-being it is crucial to assess their genetic potential. Here we describe the Illumina-based metagenomic sequencing, assembly and characterization of 3.3 mi...

This study describes and validates a new method for metagenomic biomarker discovery by way of class comparison, tests of biological consistency and effect size estimation. This addresses the challenge of finding organism...
