Diversion colitis (DC) is characterized by mucosal inflammation in the defunctioned segment of the colon following a colostomy or ileostomy. The major causes of DC are an increase in the number of aerobic bacteria, a lack of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and immune disorders in the diverted colon. …

Despite the efficacy of immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the majority of the patients experience relapse with limited subsequent treatment options. Preclinical studies of various epithelial tumors, such as melanoma and NSCLC, have shown that harnessing the gut microbiome resulted …

Berberine (BBR), a well-known quaternary ammonium alkaloid, is recognized for its ability to prevent and alleviate metabolic disorders because of its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the underlying mechanisms of BBR to mitigate fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) through …

In the first comprehensive evidence-based guideline on the use of fecal microbiota-based therapies for gastrointestinal disease, the American Gastroenterological Association recommends fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) for most patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection.

IntroductionClostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the main cause of nosocomial diarrhea in developed countries. A key challenge in CDI is the lack of o...

Clostridioides difficile is a gram-positive anaerobic bacterium that causes antibiotic-associated infections in the gut. C. difficile infection develops in t...

P. distasonis delivery combined with α-PD-1 mAb could be a new strategy to enhance the effect of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. This effect might be achieved by activating immune and antitumor related pathways.

Multiplex GI panel testing effectively detects enteric pathogens associated with diarrhea in hospitalized subjects. The etiology remains undiagnosed in 75% of cases. Factors contributing to negative test results should be considered before implementing the tests.

The intricate consortium of microorganisms in the human gut plays a crucial role in different physiological functions. The complex known-unknown elements of the gut microbiome are perplexing and the absence of standardized procedures for collecting and preserving samples has hindered continuous rese …

In summary, our findings provide evidence that ciprofloxacin-induced seizure susceptibility is partially mediated by the gut microbiota and tryptophan-indole metabolism. These associations may play a role in epileptogenesis, and impacting the development progression and treatment outcomes of epileps …

An increasing number of elderly individuals are experiencing postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) problems after undergoing hip replacement surgery, with gut microbiota metabolites playing a role in its pathogenesis. Among these, the specific effects of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) on POCD ar …

The circadian misalignment (CM) disordered circadian rhythms exert adverse effects on animals. Poultry as one of animals suffers health and welfare problems due to long-term lighting photoperiods caused by CM. However, the roles of CM on organ development, cell growth, metabolism and immune are stil …

Clostridioides difficile is an emerging pathogen of One Health significance. Its highly variable genome contains mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as transposons and prophages that influence its biology. Systematic deletion of each genetic element is required to determine their precise role …

FMT administration using the proposed regimen did not achieve statistical significance for complete CPE decolonization but was correlated with the relative abundance of specific bacterial taxa, including CPE species.

Tauopathies constitute a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by abnormal aggregation of the protein tau, progressive neuronal and synaptic loss, and eventual cognitive and motor impairment. In this review, we will highlight the latest efforts investigating the intricate interplay betwe …

Introduction: Aged-related brain damage and gut microbiome disruption are common. Research affirms that modulating the microbiota-gut-brain axis can help reduce age-related brain damage. Methods: Ginseng, esteemed in traditional Chinese medicine, is recognized for its anti-aging capabi …

With an increasing prevalence, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become a major global health problem. MASLD is well-known as a multifactorial disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction and alterations in the gut bacteria are 2 vital events in MASLD. Recent studies have hi …

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Parkinson's Disease: Getting it right, if not PARFECT

Las Vegas Nevada United States As per DelveInsight s assessment globally Clostridium Difficile Infections pipeline constitutes 20 key companies continuously working towards developing 22 Clostridium Difficile Infections treatment therapies analysis of Clinical Trials Therapies Mechanism of Action Route of Administration ...

Following the introduction of kidney transplantation in the 1950s, it has become the most developed and widely-used type of solid organ transplantation world...

Deputy editor Patrice Dougan takes a deep dive into a flat white and finds some good news for coffee lovers

YabG is a sporulation-specific protease that is conserved among sporulating bacteria. C. difficile YabG processes cortex destined proteins preproSleC into proSleC and CspBA to CspB and CspA. YabG also affects synthesis of spore coat/exosporium proteins CotA and CdeM. In prior work that identi …

Our study revealed that host immune responses against T. gondii infection severely disrupted the balance of gut microbiota, resulting in intestinal and brain damage. Lactobacillus spp. play a crucial role in immune regulation, and the metabolite ILA is a promising therapeutic compound for efficient …

In contrast to the epidemiology 10 years earlier at our hospital when the epidemic restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) group strain BI accounted for 72% of Clostridioides difficile isolates recovered from first-episode C. difficile infection (CDI) cases, BI represented 19% of first …

Clostridioides difficile causes a serious diarrheal disease and is a common healthcare-associated bacterial pathogen. Although it has a major impact on human health, the mechanistic details of C. difficile intestinal colonization remain undefined. C. difficile is highly sensitiv …

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) poses a significant health threat due to high recurrence rates. Antimicrobial agents are commonly used to manage CDI-related diarrhoea; however, by aggravating intestinal dysbiosis, antibiotics enable C. difficile spores germination and production of toxins, …
