Background Increasing evidence indicates that an altered gut microbiome participates in the development of cardiometabolic syndrome and associated risk factors, such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and obesity, and that targeting the gut microbiome is a promising strategy to lower the risk for cardiometabolic diseases. Part of this reduction i...

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. We describe the properties and therapeutic potential of chemica...

Background The prevention and treatment of bacterial infections is a human health challenge. A disadvantage of antibiotics is that they often kill beneficial commensal, bacteria in addition to, pathogenic bacteria. Indiscriminate killing disrupts the homeostasis between commensal bacteria and the host gut epithelium allowing colonization of the gut...

... 12 KB109, a novel synthetic glycan developed by Kaleido Biosciences, Inc, has been shown to increase SCFA production compared with a negative control in ex vivo studies, and importantly shows a consistent response across multiple healthy donor fecal communities. 22 KB109 is related to a class of compounds that is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) or determined to be GRAS based on history of safe human exposure. This class is commonly accepted by regulators as safey for use in food and enables rapid advancement into human clinical studies. ...
