Butyric Acid Supplementation Reduces Changes in the Taxonomic and Functional Composition of Gut Microbiota Caused by Eradication Therapy.

Unlabelled: eradication therapy leads to significant changes in the gut microbiome, including influence on the gut microbiome's functional potential. Probiotics are one of the most studied potential methods for reducing the microbiota-related consequences of antibiotics. However, the beneficial effects of probiotics are still under discussion.

Data on gut metagenomes of the patients with infection before and after the antibiotic therapy.

Antibiotic therapy can lead to the disruption of gut microbiota community with possible negative outcomes for human health. One of the diseases for which the treatment scheme commonly included antibiotic intake is infection. The changes in taxonomic and functional composition of microbiota in patients can be assessed using "shotgun" metagenomic sequencing.

Serum Cytokine Profiles in Children with Crohn's Disease.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that can be diagnosed at any age. There are two major patient groups based on diagnosis of this disease, before or after the age of 20 (juvenile/adolescent or adult), with disease progression in adults usually milder than in juvenile CD patients. Immune mechanisms have been suggested to play an important role in CD pathogenesis, with cytokines governing the development of the immune response.

Serum Cytokine Signature That Discriminates Positive and Negative Juvenile Gastroduodenitis.

Gastroduodenitis caused by , often acquired in early childhood, is found in about 50% of the adult population. Although infections can remain asymptomatic, its virulence factors usually trigger epithelial vacuolization and degeneration, loss of microvilli, disintegration of cytoplasm, and leukocyte accumulation. It is believed that leukocyte infiltration is driven by cytokines produced locally in infected tissue.
