In the present study the impact on the gastrointestinal microflora of peroral administration of penicillin, bacampicillin, clindamycin, erythromycin, doxycycline, and tinidazole was investigated. The effects on the colonic flora of parenteral administration of ampicillin plus sulbactam, cefoxitin, clindamycin, and tinidazole also were studied. Pronounced changes were observed in the oropharyngeal and colonic microflora in patients receiving clindamycin, erythromycin, and tinidazole (intravenous), whereas moderate changes were seen in those patients receiving doxycycline, cefoxitin, and ampicillin plus sulbactam. Penicillin, bacampicillin, and tinidazole (peroral) produced only minor changes. In most patients with an altered microflora, colonization with new bacterial strains was found.

Characteristics of gut microbiota profiles in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) with gastrointestinal disorders.

Sci Rep

Center of Elephant and Wildlife Health, Animal Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, 50100, Thailand.

Colic and diarrhea are common gastrointestinal (GI) disorders in captive Asian elephants, which can severely impact health and lead to mortality. Gut dysbiosis, indicated by alterations in gut microbiome composition, can be observed in individuals with GI disorders. However, changes in gut microbial profiles of elephants with GI disorders have never been investigated.

Despite the WHO recommendations in favor of breastfeeding, most infants receive infant formulas (IFs), which are complex matrices involving numerous ingredients and processing steps. Our aim was to understand the impact of the quality of the protein ingredient in IFs on gut microbiota and physiology, blood metabolites and brain gene expression. Three IFs were produced using whey proteins (WPs) from cheese whey (IF-A) or ideal whey (IFs-C and -D) and caseins, either in a micellar form (IFs-A and -C) or partly in a non-micellar form (IF-D).

Intestinal microbiota could respond to dietary fibres that are fermented by the gut microbiota, like prebiotics. Nevertheless, the dynamics of intestinal microbial community longitudinally after prebiotics intake, are still largely unknown. The current study unrevealed the successional process of intestinal microbial community after inulin supplementation, and the effect of supplementation dosage thereof, based on analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences in C57BL/6 mice.

Calcium deficiency has garnered significant attention as a global public health issue. A new generation of calcium supplements, peptide-calcium chelates, is expected to increase in market value. In this study, we produced MORP (MW < 1 kDa) from Moringa oleifera leaf protein via enzymatic hydrolysis for chelation with Ca to produce MORP-Ca.

Electronic address:

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition that significantly impairs patient quality of life and remains incurable. Effective dietary management is crucial for both prevention and treatment. This study investigates the effects and mechanisms of Eurotium cristatum-fermented black tea (FBT) in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC mouse model using transcriptome sequencing, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry.
