Open AccessMulticenter evaluation of gut microbiome profiling by next-generation sequencing reveals major biases in partial-length metabarcoding approach
Next-generation sequencing workflows, using either metabarcoding or metagenomic approaches, have massively contributed to expanding knowledge of the human gut microbiota, but methodological bias compromises re...

Roseburia, a decreased bacterial taxon in the gut microbiota of patients suffering from anorexia nervosa
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe eating disorder which can lead to malnutrition and life threatening complications with high mortality rates. We designed our analysis to identify gut microbial taxa differenti...

Open AccessLong-term diosmectite use does not alter the gut microbiota in adults with chronic diarrhea
Diosmectite, a natural colloidal clay, has been used worldwide for a number of approved indications, including the treatment of chronic functional diarrhea. Here, we used high-resolution whole metagenome shotg...

Open AccessDiet and gut microbiome interactions of relevance for symptoms in irritable bowel syndrome
While several studies have documented associations between dietary habits and microbiota composition and function in healthy individuals, no study explored these associations in patients with irritable bowel s...

Open AccessHigh engraftment capacity of frozen ready-to-use human fecal microbiota transplants assessed in germ-free mice
The number of indications for fecal microbiota transplantation is expected to rise, thus increasing the needs for production of readily available frozen or freeze-dried transplants. Using shotgun metagenomics,...

Open AccessAlternative stable states in the intestinal ecosystem: proof of concept in a rat model and a perspective of therapeutic implications
Chronic immune-mediated diseases are rapidly expanding and notoriously difficult to cure. Altered relatively stable intestinal microbiota configurations are associated with several of these diseases, and with ...

Open AccessInvestigating host-microbiome interactions by droplet based microfluidics
Despite the importance of the mucosal interface between microbiota and the host in gut homeostasis, little is known about the mechanisms of bacterial gut colonization, involving foraging for glycans produced b...

Open AccessLate weaning is associated with increased microbial diversity and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii abundance in the fecal microbiota of piglets
In pig production systems, weaning is a crucial period characterized by nutritional, environmental, and social stresses. Piglets transition from a milk-based diet to a solid, more complex plant-based diet, and...

Open AccessA Guide for Ex Vivo Handling and Storage of Stool Samples Intended for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
Owing to the growing recognition of the gut microbiota as a main partner of human health, we are expecting that the number of indications for fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) will increase. Thus, there i...

The Microbiome in IBD
In individuals with IBD, the microbiome occupies an integral juncture between their genetics and disease profile and may participate to the manifestations of the disease and the severity of its course. This ch...

Prediction of the intestinal resistome by a three-dimensional structure-based method
The intestinal microbiota is considered to be a major reservoir of antibiotic resistance determinants (ARDs) that could potentially be transferred to bacterial pathogens via mobile genetic elements. Yet, this ...

Open AccessFecal chromogranins and secretogranins are linked to the fecal and mucosal intestinal bacterial composition of IBS patients and healthy subjects
Altered fecal levels of chromogranins (Cg) and secretogranins (Sg) are demonstrated in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but their role in IBS pathophysiology remains unknown. This study aimed to determine if gr...

Open AccessHumans as holobionts: implications for prevention and therapy
The human gut microbiota is increasingly recognized for its important or even decisive role in health. As it becomes clear that microbiota and host mutually affect and depend on each other in an intimate relat...

Open AccessCommensal gut bacteria modulate phosphorylation-dependent PPARγ transcriptional activity in human intestinal epithelial cells
In healthy subjects, the intestinal microbiota interacts with the host’s epithelium, regulating gene expression to the benefit of both, host and microbiota. The underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, ...

Open AccessA fibrolytic potential in the human ileum mucosal microbiota revealed by functional metagenomic
The digestion of dietary fibers is a major function of the human intestinal microbiota. So far this function has been attributed to the microorganisms inhabiting the colon, and many studies have focused on thi...

Human Gut Metagenomics: Success and Limits of the Activity-Based Approaches
The symbiotic relationship between the host and its gut microbiota has evolved to benefit both parties, especially by maintaining the host health and providing nutrients to the microbiota. Until recently, the ...

Transcriptional interactions suggest niche segregation among microorganisms in the human gut
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the habitat for hundreds of microbial species, of which many cannot be cultivated readily, presumably because of the dependencies between species1. Studies of microbial co...
