The pan-microbiome profiling system Taxa4Meta identifies clinical dysbiotic features and classifies diarrheal disease - PubMed
Targeted metagenomic sequencing is an emerging strategy to survey disease- specific microbiome biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and prognosis. However, this approach often yields inconsistent or conflicting results due to inadequate study power and sequencing bias. We introduce Taxa4Meta, a bioinfo …

Understanding the Gut-Brain Axis and Its Therapeutic Implications for Neurodegenerative Disorders - PubMed
The gut-brain axis (GBA) is a complex bidirectional communication network connecting the gut and brain. It involves neural, immune, and endocrine communication pathways between the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the central nervous system (CNS). Perturbations of the GBA have been reported in many n …

The pH-responsive SmrR-SmrT system modulates C. difficile antimicrobial resistance, spore formation, and toxin production - PubMed
C. difficile is a mammalian pathogen that colonizes the large intestine and produces toxins that lead to severe diarrheal disease. C. difficile is a major threat to public health due to its intrinsic resistance to antimicrobials and its ability to form dormant spores that are easily sp …

A sporulation signature protease is required for assembly of the spore surface layers, germination and host colonization in Clostridioides difficile - PubMed
A genomic signature for endosporulation includes a gene coding for a protease, YabG, which in the model organism Bacillus subtilis is involved in assembly of the spore coat. We show that in the human pathogen Clostridioidesm difficile, YabG is critical for the assembly of the coat and exosporium lay …

Proton pump inhibitors
Proton pump inhibitors
### What you need to know A 42 year old man visits his general practitioner with a three month history of intermittent nausea and central chest discomfort, particularly after fatty and sweet meals. He occasionally has a bad taste in his mouth when he wakes up from sleep. His body mass index is 32, he has no significant medical history, and he takes no regular medications. After asking him about alarm symptoms, you make a diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. You are considering prescribing a proton pump inhibitor as a first line therapy. Prevalence of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use is about 15% of the UK population, according to two primary care database studies.12 In 2022-23, 73 million NHS prescriptions for PPIs were dispensed in England at a cost of about £190 million, equating to 1.8% of total primary care prescription costs and 6% of all prescriptions dispensed.3 The two most commonly prescribed PPIs in England are omeprazole and lansoprazole, which were among the five most commonly dispensed drugs in 2020. There is strong evidence to support the use of PPIs across a range of indications.4 PPIs are used in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal disorders characterised by excessive acid production and damage to upper gastrointestinal tissue,5 and are also prescribed as gastroprotection for patients being treated with medications which increase the risk of ulceration, such as non-steroidal …
