Relative abundances of bacterial species in the gut microbiome have been linked to many diseases. Species of gut bacteria are ecologically differentiated by their abilities to metabolize different glycans, making glycan delivery a powerful way to alter the microbiome to promote health. Here, we study the properties and therapeutic potential of chem...

The pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) involves genetic susceptibility, immune-mediated tissue injury and environmental factors including disturbances of the gut microbiota. Nearly all current approved therapies modify host immunity, rather than directly targeting the microbiota. Fecal microbiota transplantation provides encouraging evidence f...

Background & aims: Enteropathy and small-intestinal ulcers are common adverse effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Safe, cytoprotective strategies are needed to reduce this risk. Specific bifidobacteria might have cytoprotective activities, but little is known about these effects in humans. We used se...

p>The different levels of knowledge described in a translational pipeline (the connection of molecular mechanisms with pre-clinical physiological and human health effects) are not complete for many probiotics. At present, we are not in a position to fully understand the mechanistic basis of many well established probiotic health benefits which, in...

... As an intricate ecosystem, the gut has a large and diverse microbial community known as the gut microbiota. 17,18 The human gut microbiota contains probiotics and pathogenic bacteria that coexist harmoniously in a healthy body. However, this balance can be disrupted by abnormal environmental factors and genetic variations. ...
... Furthermore, the gut's bacterial communities' composition seems to exert influence on aspirin metabolism. While oral antibiotic administration can decrease the gut microbiota's metabolic activity by slowing its degradation, increasing its bioavailability and prolonging its anti-thrombotic action, probiotics containing Bifidobacterium breve Bif195 bacteria can protect against an aspirin intake adverse reaction, such as intestinal wall damage and aspirin-induced gastric ulcers [135,136]. ...
... The permeability measurements in this study were inspired by previous studies showing that L. rhamnosus CNCM-I 3690 (the strain that was also used here) could restore impaired intestinal barrier functions in mice [27,28]. The lack of confirmatory observations in the present cohort of ileostomists may be due to the fact that contrary to the studies using mouse models, the ileostomists participating in this study did not suffer from impaired mucosal barrier function, minimising the potential of dietary interventions to elicit an improvement, illustrative of translational difficulties across different mammalian models [45]. ...
