Abstract Calf diarrhea is associated with enteric infections, and also provokes the overuse of antibiotics. Therefore, proper treatment represents a therapeutic challenge in livestock production public health concerns. Here, we describe ability fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), to ameliorate restore gut microbial composition 57 growing calves. We conduct multi-omics analysis 450 longitudinally collected samples find that FMT-induced alterations (an increase family Porphyromonadaceae )...

Although several studies have identified a distinct gut microbial composition in Parkinson's disease (PD), few investigated the oral microbiome or functional alteration of PD. We aimed to investigate connection between and changes PD-specific using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. The taxonomic was significantly different PD patients healthy controls (P = 0.003 0.001, respectively). Oral Lactobacillus more abundant associated with opportunistic pathogens (FDR-adjusted P < 0.038). Functional...

Invertebrates are a very attractive subject for studying host-microbe interactions because of their simple gut microbial community and host diversity. Studying the composition invertebrate microbiota determining factors is essential understanding symbiotic mechanism. Cephalopods invertebrates that have similar biological properties to vertebrates such as closed circulation system, an advanced nervous well-differentiated digestive system. However, it not currently known whether microbiomes...

Neonatal calf diarrhea is a common disease leading to major economic loss for cattle producers worldwide. Several infectious and noninfectious factors are implicated in diarrhea, but control remains problematic because of the multifactorial etiology disease. Here, we conducted diagnostic multiplex PCR assay meta-omics analysis (16S rRNA gene-based metataxonomics untargeted transcriptional profiling) rectal content normal diarrheic beef calves (

A strictly anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile and coccoid- or oval-shaped bacterium, designated strain KB1T, was isolated from a faecal sample of patient with diverticulitis in South Korea. Degeneracies the 16S rRNA gene sequence KB1T were resolved by cloning, which yielded five different sequences heterogeneity. Phylogenetic analysis based on showed that formed monophyletic branch species genus Blautia, highest similarity to type Blautia producta (97.7-98.9 %), followed coccoides...

Cultivation and isolation of gut bacteria are necessary for understanding their role in the intestinal ecosystem. We isolated a novel bacterium, designated strain BG01T, from faeces patient with Crohn's disease. Strain BG01T was strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-variable endospore-forming bacterium. possessed C12 : 0, C18 0 dimethyl aldehyde (DMA) 1 ω9c DMA as predominant cellular fatty acids meso-diaminopimelic acid diagnostic diamino acid. grew at 15-45 °C (optimum, 37 °C), 0-4 % (w/v)...

A novel Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, obligate aerobic, motile, rod-shaped, and flagellated bacterium, designated S11R28T, was isolated from the intestinal tract of a Korean shiner, Coreoleuciscus splendidus. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain S11R28T identified as member genus Undibacterium in class Betaproteobacteria, closely related to parvum DSM 23061T (98.49 %).
