📢 new paper alert! 📢 Do we find the same #bacteria in the mouth and in the gut of stunded children? Go find out: doi.org/10.1080/1949... #microbiome #gut #gutmicrobes #metagenomic With @vonaeschlab.bsky.social at @dmf-unil.bsky.social

Excited to share our new study out in Nature Communications. We mapped the composition of the human breast #milk #microbiome and showed that microbes present in breast milk directly contribute to the assembly of the #infant gut microbiome in the first months of life. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Looks interesting 👀: Distinguishing diet- and microbe-derived metabolites in the human gut microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

"both air sharing and physical contact enabled bidirectional transmission: U.S. mucus-degrading taxa (e.g., Akkermansia) was transferred into Thai microbiomes, while Thai-derived, potentially health-promoting bacteria colonized U.S. microbiomes." doi.org/10.1080/1949...

Cool paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... "different fermentation products [profiles] released [vary a lot more depending on] microbiome composition [than] daily production of bacterial biomass + release of fermentation products" "diet not microbiota [is] dominant factor for fermentation product harvest"

Can we predict small intestinal microbiota traits from saliva? Read our new paper “Contamination-controlled upper gastrointestinal microbiota profiling reveals salivary-duodenal community types linked to opportunistic pathogen carriage and inflammation”, doi.org/10.1080/1949...

Microbial community-scale metabolic models (MCMMs) map gut microbiome composition & dietary context to functional outputs, at scale. Here, we describe these emerging tools & their utility to both basic & translational microbiome research. @natmicrobiol.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New editorial at Microbiome 🦠 ! Co-authored by the Senior Editors, it aims to highlight current challenges in the field of environmental and host-associated microbiome research and provides a blueprint for contemporary studies of the microbiomes. microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Sawhney et al. followed 52 infants from birth to age 8, uncovering how gut microbiomes shift, stabilize, and evolve. A key finding: the emergence and timing of Bacteroides- and Prevotella-dominated enterotypes. 👶🧬 1/n

Principles of gut microbiota assembly

Minimal lasting gut microbiome perturbation after antibiotic (amoxicillin) treatment in children, which mostly affected bifidobacteria: microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Microbiota assembly in SPF mice: rdcu.be/d9yMn - No bifidobacteria in neonatal mice, no clear maternal source of pioneer strains.

Great study + opportunity to repost old tweets about our related meta-analysis: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti..., which was smaller + focused on maternal strain transmission but also early-life #microbiome maturation, incl. oxygen-tolerant to intolerant species-dominated microbiome transition.

“The gut microbiota predicts and time-restricted feeding delays experimental colitis” New paper out from our group in GutMicrobes: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10..... Congratulations to first authors Hannah Ruple and Eva Haasis. (1/x)

Our study @cellpress.bsky.social finds healthy Canadians that consume a non-industrialized-type #diet can modulate their #microbiome, boost beneficial metabolites and improve their health. In just 3 weeks: LDL cholesterol ↓17% fasting glucose ↓6% CRP ↓ 14% www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

🎉New article from our team demonstating that a #microbiota derived #bileacid improves hepatic #cholesterol levels in mice with cancer #cachexia! Congratulations to Morgane Thibaut & Martin Roumain! Thanks to our collaborators, the FNRS and the @welbio.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55

New research shows gut physiology, e.g. transit time and pH, influence microbiome variation and metabolism. These findings implicate a personalized approach and repeated sampling in microbiome studies to capture individual differences and daily dynamics. #Microbiome

We found something interesting in the evolution of plant microbiota. It is under review and we published the preprint today. Avi Bograd from my lab analyzed the genomes of 38,912 bacteria and identified a clear depletion of all MGE types in plant-associated bacteria vs. non-plant associated bacteria

Hot off the press: "Fecal microbial load is a major determinant of gut microbiome variation and a confounder for disease associations" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... See below for @suguru-nishijima.bsky.social 's thread on the preprint! #microsky #microbiome
