The Lung Microbiome and Pneumonia

Melinda M. Pettigrew et al.

Summary: Pneumonia is a heterogeneous and complex disease that remains a leading source of disease and death globally, despite advancements in diagnostics, treatment, and prevention. Current methods for prevention include vaccines and antibiotic treatment, but the threat of antimicrobial resistance poses challenges to these treatments. Additionally, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has significantly shifted the epidemiology of pneumonia since December 2019, highlighting the need for a broader conceptual framework to address the pathogenesis of pneumonia.

Beyond Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: Developing Drugs from the Microbiome

Ylaine Gerardin et al.

Summary: The transfer of live gut microbes may revolutionize the treatment of various diseases, with fecal microbiota transplantation showing early success in certain infections. The development of microbiome drugs is now being driven by these clinical advances, although challenges remain in terms of safety, consistency, and delivery.

Harnessing Iron Acquisition Machinery to Target Enterobacteriaceae

Artur Sargun et al.

Summary: The review outlines the use of siderophore-mediated iron acquisition in Gram-negative bacteria, providing a foundation for the conceptualization and development of approaches to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Differences in the siderophore-based iron uptake mechanisms between pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae and commensal microbes may lead to the development of selective Trojan-horse antimicrobials and immunization strategies that will not harm the host microbiota.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis and the Microbiome: Current Status and Future Directions

Robert Thanert et al.

Summary: Decades of research have yet to fully understand the pathophysiology of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a severe pediatric gastrointestinal disorder. Evidence suggests that host-microbiota interactions play a crucial role in NEC development. Greater understanding of the preterm infant microbiome could lead to enhanced diagnostics, treatments, and preventive measures for NEC.

Microbiome Data Enhances Predictive Models of Lung Function in People With Cystic Fibrosis

Conan Y. Zhao et al.

Summary: The study found that models trained on whole-microbiome quantitation outperformed models trained only on pathogen quantitation in lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis. The most accurate models retained key pathogens and nonpathogen taxa as important predictors of lung health.

Current Capabilities of Gut Microbiome-Based Diagnostics and the Promise of Clinical Application

Gregory L. Damhorst et al.

Summary: There is increasing recognition of the significance of the gut microbiome in human health and disease. Traditional and modern technologies have advanced our knowledge in this field, but standardizing the language and metrics for characterizing the microbiome is still a work in progress. The capabilities of gut microbiome-based diagnostics are promising for clinical applications, with selected examples demonstrating their potential impact.

Connecting the Dots: Translating the Vaginal Microbiome Into a Drug

Laurel A. Lagenaur et al.

Summary: Maintaining a dominant Lactobacillus species in the vaginal microbiota is crucial for preventing infections and supporting gynecologic health. Specific species like Lactobacillus crispatus are associated with preventing dysbiosis-related diseases. Therefore, replenishing the imbalanced microbiota with protective lactobacilli like CTV-05 may help in preventing recurrent BV.

Transkingdom Interactions Important for the Pathogenesis of Human Viruses

Andrew Nishimoto et al.

Summary: Bacterial, fungal, and helminthic species within the microbiome of mammalian hosts have significant effects on health and disease. Pathogenic viruses have evolved to interact with and potentially exploit or evade the microbiome during infection. Recent research has highlighted both synergistic and antagonistic interactions between the microbiome and pathogenic viruses, showcasing the complexity of their relationship.

Interkingdom Communication and Regulation of Mucosal Immunity by the Microbiome

Alexander D. Ethridge et al.

Summary: Intercellular communication is mostly mediated through ligand-receptor binding and signaling for both host cells and microbial cells. Nonprotein metabolites play a significant role in mucosal immunity, and the list of potential immunomodulatory molecules derived from the microbiome is expanding. Various microbial signals, including short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, and histamine, contribute to immunomodulation.

The Gut Microbiome as a Reservoir for Antimicrobial Resistance

Winston E. Anthony et al.

Summary: This review discusses the gut as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance and pathogen colonization, with a focus on beta-lactam and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance. It also explores the use of functional metagenomics and long-read sequencing technologies to detect and understand antimicrobial resistance genes within the gut microbiome, as well as the potential for future microbiome-directed methods for detecting and preventing infections.

Protection and Risk: Male and Female Genital Microbiota and Sexually Transmitted Infections

Susan Tuddenham et al.

Summary: The unique composition and function of the cervicovaginal microbiota are associated with protection against and risk for sexually transmitted infections (STI), while less is known about the interaction between penile microbiota and STIs in men. This review briefly discusses the current understanding of these microbiota and their role in select STIs, as well as strategies for manipulating genital microbiota to optimize protection against STIs, highlighting major research gaps and proposing a framework for future studies.
