Culturomics Discloses Anti-Tubercular Enterococci Exclusive of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Preliminary Report.

causes pulmonary tuberculosis, a deadly infection of which the clinical expression and prognosis are not fully understood at the individual level, apart from genetic susceptibility traits. We investigated whether individual gut microbiota may correlate with pulmonary tuberculosis status. Culturomics investigations of gut microbiota in two pulmonary tuberculosis patients and two controls in Burkina Faso found 60 different bacterial species in patients and 97 in controls, including 45 in common.

sp. nov isolated from human gut microbiota.

Strain Marseille-Q0835 is an aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming Gram-positive coccus isolated from the stools of a Burkinabe woman. In this report, we present its phenotypic description including MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis and genome sequencing. Strain Marseille-Q0835; 2.

sp. nov., a new bacterium isolated from a human gut microbiota.

Strain Marseille-P9525 is a Gram-positive, obligatory anaerobic and non-motile bacterium isolated from a human faecal micobiota. Its phenotypic pattern, including mass spectrometry peptide profile and genome sequence, support the proposal of a new species for which the name sp. nov.

Genome Sequence of sp. Strain Marseille-P9525, a Member of a Human Gut Microbiome.

Strain Marseille-P9525 was isolated from the gut microbiota of a 28-year-old woman and exhibits a 2.23-Mb (G+C content, 66.8%) draft genome sequence containing 1,902 protein-coding genes, 49 tRNAs, and 3 rRNAs.

Non-contiguous finished genome sequencing and description of sp. nov. isolated from human sputum.

sp. nov., strain Marseille-P2817, is a facultatively anaerobic, motile and non-spore-forming Gram-positive coccus which was isolated from the sputum of a healthy adult man in Marseilles.

Digestive tract mycobiota: a source of infection.

The human mycobiome includes 390 fungal species detected on the skin, in the vagina, in the oral cavity, and in the digestive tract that includes 335 species and 158 genera. Among these, 221 species are found only in the digestive tract, 88 only in the oral cavity, and 26 in both. These species belong to 126 genera of yeast and filamentous fungi, of the Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota phyla.

Eukaryote culturomics of the gut reveals new species.

The repertoire of microeukaryotes in the human gut has been poorly explored, mainly in individuals living in northern hemisphere countries. We further explored this repertoire using PCR-sequencing and culture in seven individuals living in four tropical countries. A total of 41 microeukaryotes including 38 different fungal species and three protists were detected.

Gut microeukaryotes during anorexia nervosa: a case report.

Background: Few studies have focused on eukaryote community in the human gut. Here, the diversity of microeukaryotes in the gut microbiota of an anorexic patient was investigated using molecular and culture approaches.

Case Presentation: A 21-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted in an intensive care unit for severe malnutrition in anorexia nervosa.

Plant and fungal diversity in gut microbiota as revealed by molecular and culture investigations.

Background: Few studies describing eukaryotic communities in the human gut microbiota have been published. The objective of this study was to investigate comprehensively the repertoire of plant and fungal species in the gut microbiota of an obese patient.

Methodology/principal Findings: A stool specimen was collected from a 27-year-old Caucasian woman with a body mass index of 48.
