Antibiotic-induced dysbiosis is a key factor predisposing intestinal infection by Clostridium difficile. Here, we show that interventions restore butyrate levels mitigate clinical and pathological features of C. difficile-induced colitis. Butyrate has no effect on difficile colonization or toxin production. However, it attenuates inflammation improves barrier function in infected mice, as shown reduced epithelial permeability bacterial translocation, effects associated with the increased...
Gut microbiota-derived short-chain fatty-acid (SFCA) acetate protects mice against RSV A2 strain infection by increasing interferon-β production and expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). However, the role SFCA in using strains isolated from patients is unknown.We first used clinical infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis to investigate effects vitro SCFA-acetate treatment human pulmonary epithelial cells. We next examined whether beneficial a mouse model isolates. sought...
Obesity is linked with altered microbial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are a signature of gut dysbiosis and inflammation. In the present study, we investigated whether tributyrin, prodrug SCFA butyrate, could improve metabolic inflammatory profiles in diet-induced obese mice. Mice fed high-fat diet for eight weeks were treated tributyrin or placebo another six weeks. We show that mice had lower body weight gain an improved insulin responsiveness glucose metabolism, partly via...
The Iron Quadrangle (IQ) is one of the main iron ore producing regions world. exploitation its reserves jeopardizes high biological endemism associated with this region. This work aimed to understand diversity and bacterial potential IQ caves. Floor ceiling samples seven ferruginous caves quartzite cave were collected, their microbial relative abundance established by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data. results showed that present higher greater compared cave. Many species belonging...
Fipronil is a broad-spectrum insecticide with remarkable efficacy that widely used to control insect pests around the world. However, its extensive use has led increasing soil and water contamination. This fact of concern makes it necessary evaluate risk undesirable effects on non-target microorganisms, such as microbial community in and/or soil. Studies using metagenomic approach assess fipronil communities are scarce. In this context, present study was conducted identify microorganisms can...
We report the microbial 16S rRNA gene and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing data of maize soybean plants field soil from eight locations in Brazil. Enterobacter Pseudomonas were among most abundant genera. The suggest presence several species that have not been documented for
