Characteristics of the gut microbiome in esports players compared with those in physical education students and professional athletes

Maria Kulecka et al.

Summary: This study investigated the composition and function of the gut microbiota in a group of 109 Polish male esports players. The results showed no differences in bacterial diversity, the composition of gut microbiota, or metabolite concentrations between esports players and physical education students. However, there were significant differences in bacterial species and amino acids between esports players and professional athletes.

Altered metabolome and microbiome features provide clues in understanding irritable bowel syndrome and depression comorbidity

Lijuan Han et al.

Summary: This study identified significant differences in serum metabolites between IBS patients and healthy controls, as well as robust associations between gut bacteria and fecal metabolites. The dysregulation of tryptophan/serotonin metabolism was found to be correlated with the severity of IBS depression, indicating a potential role of metabolic pathways in IBS pathogenesis.

Dynamic of the human gut microbiome under infectious diarrhea

Hao Chung The et al.

Summary: Despite improvements in sanitation, immunization, and treatment, infectious diarrheal diseases continue to have a significant impact on the health of children in low resource settings. Research has shown that disruptions in the gut microbiome during initial enteric infections can have short-term or long-term health effects. Advances in DNA sequencing and bioinformatic analyses have allowed for better understanding of how the gut microbiome changes during disease onset and recovery.

LinDA: linear models for differential abundance analysis of microbiome compositional data

Huijuan Zhou et al.

Summary: Differential abundance analysis is a crucial statistical analysis in microbiome data. The compositional nature of microbiome sequencing data poses challenges in controlling false positives. In this study, the authors propose LinDA, a simple yet flexible and scalable approach that addresses the compositional effects by fitting linear regression models on centered log-ratio transformed data and correcting the bias caused by compositional effects. They demonstrate the effectiveness of LinDA through simulations and real examples, and highlight its asymptotic FDR control and extensions to mixed-effect models for correlated microbiome data.

The population genetics of pathogenicEscherichia coli

Erick Denamur et al.

Summary: Escherichia coli, a commensal of the vertebrate gut and an opportunistic pathogen, has evolved virulence mainly through acquiring virulence genes on mobile elements in a specific chromosomal background. The emergence of stable and cosmopolitan lineages of pathogenic E. coli reflects an optimization of strain fitness through interactions between virulence determinants and the rest of the genome, with few lineages responsible for pathologies compared to the diversity of commensal strains.

The impact of pelvic radiotherapy on the gut microbiome and its role in radiation-induced diarrhoea: a systematic review

Lina Wang et al.

Summary: Pelvic radiotherapy is a key treatment for pelvic malignancies, leading to radiation enteritis and diarrhoea as common symptoms. Studies have shown a decrease in gut microbiome diversity after pelvic radiotherapy, especially in patients experiencing diarrhoea. Community composition of gut microbiota changes at different time points during and after radiotherapy, and differences in gut microbiota composition before radiotherapy have been observed between patients with and without diarrhoea.

The role of the gut microbiome on radiation therapy efficacy and gastrointestinal complications: A systematic review

Marion Tonneau et al.

Summary: Radiation therapy is a crucial component in oncology, but its efficacy varies among patients due to multiple tumor mechanisms. Recent studies show the gut microbiome plays a key role in modulating immune response and treatment outcomes. Despite advancements in radiotherapy techniques, acute adverse events still occur, highlighting the need for further research on improving strategies.

Pathobionts: mechanisms of survival, expansion, and interaction with host with a focus on Clostridioides difficile

Harish Chandra et al.

Summary: Pathobionts are opportunistic microbes that emerge as a result of perturbations in the healthy microbiome due to complex interactions of various genetic, exposomal, microbial, and host factors, leading to their proliferation, which may exacerbate inflammation, trigger autoimmune diseases, and even lead to life-threatening conditions. The current surge in microbiome research is unraveling the complex interplays between disease development and protection against pathobionts.

Shanlin Ke et al.

Summary: The study highlights the sensitivity of interactions between gut microbiota and host immune markers to the status of C. difficile colonization and infection. Utilizing both types of data can improve the distinction between CDI and other groups. Symbolic classification using selected features resulted in simple mathematical formulas that explicitly quantify the interactions between the gut microbiome and host immune markers.
