Abstract: Constipation in children is common and is a frequent cause for healthcare attendances in both primary and secondary care. The Bristol Stool Chart has become ubiquitous as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of constipation, but many clinicians may no...
Enrichment Culture but Not Metagenomic Sequencing Identified a Highly Prevalent Phage Infecting Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in Human Feces.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Microbiology spectrum [Microbiol Spectr] 2023 Jun 15; Vol. 11 (3), pp. e0434022. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 30.
Abstract: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (previously known as Lactobacillus plantarum) is increasingly used as a probiotic to treat human diseases, but its phages in the human gut remain unexplored. Here, we report its first gut phage, Gut-P1, which we systematic...
Insights from Bacterial 16S rRNA Gene into Bacterial Genera and Predicted Metabolic Pathways Associated with Stool Consistency in Rectal Cancer Patients: A Proof of Concept.

Abstract: Purpose: To examine if gut microbial taxa abundances and predicted functional pathways correlate with Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) classification at the end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy (CRT) for rectal cancer.Methods: Rectal ca...
Fibre fermentation and pig faecal microbiota composition are affected by the interaction between sugarcane fibre and (poly)phenols in vitro .
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): International journal of food sciences and nutrition [Int J Food Sci Nutr] 2023 Mar; Vol. 74 (2), pp. 219-233. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 13.
Abstract: We investigated the effects of (poly)phenol-rich sugarcane extract (PRSE), sugarcane fibre (SCFiber), and the combination of them (PRSE + SCFiber) on the gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) production using in vitro digestion and pig faec...
Genetic Predictors for Fecal Propionate and Butyrate-Producing Microbiome Pathway Are Not Associated with Colorectal Cancer Risk: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
