A study of species distribution of numerically predominant Bacteroidales order isolates in feces of healthy people aged 1-33 years was accomplished using a combination of amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequencing. It was found that the majority of isolates in all age groups belonged to species B. xylanisolvens, B. vulgatus, and B. uniformis. Members of genera Alistipes, Parabacteroides, Odoribacter, Barnesiella, and Prevotella were also detected frequently.

The transition from breastmilk to solid foods (weaning) is a decisive stage for the development of the colonic microbiota. However, little is known about how complementary foods influence the composition and function of the colonic microbiota in infants. This systematic review collected evidence of the effect of individual foods on the fecal microbiota of weaning infants (4-12 months old) using five databases: PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect.

Article Synopsis
  • Previous research suggests a connection between gut microbiota, metabolites, and diabetic nephropathy (DN), but past observational studies had uncertainties due to factors like reverse causality.
  • Using a two-sample Mendelian randomization approach on data from a genome-wide association study, the research identified certain gut bacteria, like those in the Bacteroidaceae and Victivallaceae families, as protective against DN, while others indicated a higher risk.
  • The study concludes that there is a potential causal relationship between specific gut microbiota and DN, paving the way for future strategies in prevention and treatment of the disease.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) alters the gut microbiome. This study aimed to assess the association between the disease severity of COVID-19 and changes in stool microbes through a seven-month follow-up of stool collection.

Methods: We conducted a multicentre, prospective longitudinal study of 58 COVID-19 patients and 116 uninfected controls.

Article Synopsis
  • Obesity is linked to a disrupted gut microbiome due to high-fat diets, causing conditions like insulin resistance and NASH.
  • In a study with mice, those on high-fat diets showed significant health issues, while treatment with Broncho-Vaxom® (OM-85) prevented obesity and improved gut health.
  • The findings suggest that immune modulators like OM-85 can positively impact metabolism and gut microbiome composition, indicating potential for new obesity therapies.

Objectives: In systemic sclerosis (SSc), gastrointestinal involvement is one of the earliest events. We compared the gut microbiota (GM), its short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and host-derived free fatty acids (FFAs) in patients with very early diagnosis of SSc (VEDOSS) and definite SSc.

Methods: Stool samples of 26 patients with SSc, 18 patients with VEDOSS and 20 healthy controls (HC) were collected.
