Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been recently approved by FDA for the treatment of refractory recurrent clostridial colitis (rCDI). Success FTM in rCDI led to a number studies investigating effectiveness its application other gastrointestinal diseases. However, majority effects FMT were evaluated on patients with initially altered microbiota. The aim our study was estimate gut composition healthy volunteers and monitor long-term outcomes.We have performed combined analysis three...
Human gut microbiome plays an important role both in health and disease. Use of antibiotics can alter microbiota composition, which leads to various deleterious events.

Abstract Background Recent advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology have ushered significant improvements speed and data throughput, thereby enabling the simultaneous analysis of a greater number samples within single run. This has proven particularly valuable context microbial community profiling, offering powerful tool for characterizing composition at species level given sample. profiling process typically involves 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene fragments. By scaling up...
Immunotherapy has proven to be a boon for patients battling metastatic melanoma, significantly improving their clinical condition and overall quality of life. A compelling link between the composition gut microbiome efficacy immunotherapy been established in both animal models human patients. However, precise biological mechanisms by which microbes influence treatment outcomes remain poorly understood. Using robust dataset 680 fecal metagenomes from melanoma patients, detailed catalog...
Antibiotic resistance is an important global public health problem. Human gut microbiota accumulator of genes potentially providing them to pathogens. It develop tools for identifying the mechanisms how transmitted between microbial species and pathogens.We developed MetaCherchant-an algorithm extracting genomic environment antibiotic from metagenomic data in form a graph. The was validated on number simulated published datasets, as well applied new 'shotgun' metagenomes patients with...
ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel diseases are characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation and alterations in the gut microbiota composition. Bacteroides fragilis , which secretes outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) with polysaccharide A (PSA), can moderate inflammatory response possibly alter In this study, we created a murine model of sodium dextran sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis treated it B. OMVs. We monitored efficiency OMV therapy determining disease activity index (DAI) performing...
Abstract Despite advances in immunotherapy, clinical responses remain heterogeneous, underscoring the need to elucidate gut microbiome’s role modulating therapeutic efficacy. We conducted a large-scale genome-resolved metagenomic analysis of 624 stool samples from 11 cohorts spanning five cancer types three continents identify conserved microbial biomarkers immunotherapy response. Responders (R; n = 362) exhibited enrichment Blautia species, linked acetate production CO 2 via Wood-Ljungdahl...
Background Advancements in sequencing technologies, such as Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), have significantly improved microbiome research. However, variations platforms, primer selection, DNA quality may influence microbial diversity assessments, particularly studies of gut microbiota. This study systematically evaluates these factors mouse microbiota analysis, comparing 16S rRNA gene metagenome (MS) across both platforms. Results Our findings highlight the critical...
Motivation: Microbial communities consist of thousands microorganisms and viruses have a tight connection with an environment, such as gut microbiota modulation host body metabolism. However, the direct relationship between presence certain microorganism state often remains unknown. Toolkits using reference-based approaches are limited to microbes present in databases. Reference-free methods require enormous resources for metagenomic assembly or results many poorly interpretable features...
The human gut microbiome plays an important role in both health and disease. Recent studies have demonstrated a strong influence of the composition on efficacy cancer immunotherapy. However, available not yet succeeded finding reliable consistent metagenomic markers that are associated with response to Therefore, reanalysis published data may improve our understanding association between treatment response. In this study, we focused melanoma-related data, which more abundant than from other...
About 15% of patients with parkinsonism have a hereditary form Parkinson’s disease (PD). Studies on the early stages PD pathogenesis are challenging due to lack relevant models. The most promising ones models based dopaminergic neurons (DAns) differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) forms PD. This work describes highly efficient 2D protocol for obtaining DAns iPSCs. is rather simple, comparable in efficiency previously published protocols, and does not require viral...
Sweet-tasting proteins (SPs) are of plant origin initially isolated from tropical fruits. They thousands times sweeter than sucrose and most artificial sweeteners. SPs a class capable causing sweet taste sensation in humans when interacting with the T1R2/T1R3 receptor. SP thaumatin has already been introduced food industry some countries. Other SPs, such as monellin brazzein, promising products. An important stage researching addition to confirming absence toxicity, mutagenicity,...
Antimicrobial resistance poses a serious threat to global public health. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need monitor dissemination of antimicrobial genes and understand mechanisms driving this process. In study, we analyzed changes oropharyngeal fecal resistomes patients with undergoing therapy in hospital setting. A targeted sequencing panel 4,937 was used comprehensively characterize resistomes. Our results demonstrated that resistome is homogeneous, showing low variability over...

Abstract Background All living organisms have developed during evolution complex time-keeping biological clocks that allowed them to stay attuned their environments. Circadian rhythms cycle on a near 24 h clock. These encompass variety of changes in the body ranging from blood hormone levels metabolism, gut microbiota composition and others. The microbiota, return, influences host stress response physiological associated with it, which makes it an important determinant health. Lactobacilli...
Antibiotic therapy can lead to the disruption of gut microbiota community with possible negative outcomes for human health. One diseases which treatment scheme commonly included antibiotic intake is Helicobacter pylori infection. The changes in taxonomic and functional composition patients be assessed using "shotgun" metagenomic sequencing. Ten stool samples were collected from 4 infection before directly after H. eradication course. Additionally, two subjects, 1 month end treatment. subject...
As permanent residents of the normal gut microbiota, bifidobacteria have evolved to adapt host's immune response whose priority is eliminate pathogenic agents. The mechanisms that ensure survival commensals during inflammation and maintain stability core component microbiota in such conditions remain poorly understood.

We assumed that the enrichment of successful gut microbes by lantibiotic/antibiotic resistance genes can be related to microbiota colonization third-party microbe phenomena and bacterium-derived or host-derived antimicrobial substances. According this assumption, competition between donor-derived recipient-derived as well host immunity may play a key role in FMT-related redistribution recipient structure.
