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...

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 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...

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 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...

Richness of human gut microbiome correlates with metabolic markers
We are facing a global metabolic health crisis provoked by an obesity epidemic. Here we report the human gut microbial composition in a population sample of 123 non-obese and 169 obese Danish individuals. We f...
