While emerging evidence highlights the significance of gut microbiome in gastrointestinal infectious diseases, treatments like Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) and probiotics are gaining popularity, especially for diarrhea patients. However, the specific role of the gut microbiome in different …

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 …

In the treatment of depressive disorders, conventional antidepressant therapy has been the mainstay of clinical management, along with well-established nonpharmacological interventions such as various kinds of psychotherapy. Over the last 2 decades, there has been considerable interest in the role o …

With the FDA approval of 2 of these products, which are indicated for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), a study reviewed which types of clinicians are prescribing them and the protocols in using them.

Fecal microbes could help populations at risk of drug-resistant infections, such as patients who get organ transplants.

The curative potential and limitations of gut microbiome-based therapeutics in critical illnesses.

The Importance of a Broad Consortium of Bacteria for a Healthy Gastrointestinal tract: A Narrative Review of the Live Biotherapeutic Product REBYOTA

While many developments have been achieved with novel pharmacological treatments to manage IBD, ongoing research is required to confirm their effectiveness and safety in the paediatric age. Extending the licence of novel treatments to children will be crucial to tackle the increasing loss of respons …

Recent developments in sequencing technology and analytical approaches have allowed researchers to show that the healthy gut microbiome is very varied and capable of performing a wide range of tasks.
