Interactions between parasites and microbial communities in the human gut
The interactions between intestinal microbiota, immune system, and pathogens describe the human gut as a complex ecosystem, where all components play a relevant role in modulating each other and in the maintenance of homeostasis. The balance among the gut microbiota and the human body appear to be crucial for health maintenance. Intestinal parasites, both protozoans and helminths, interact with...
متن کاملSynthetic microbial communities☆
While natural microbial communities are composed of a mix of microbes with often unknown functions, the construction of synthetic microbial communities allows for the generation of defined systems with reduced complexity. Used in a top-down approach, synthetic communities serve as model systems to ask questions about the performance and stability of microbial communities. In a second, bottom-up...
متن کاملPostmortem succession of gut microbial communities in deceased human subjects
The human microbiome has demonstrated an importance for the health and functioning in living individuals. However, the fate of the microbiome after death is less understood. In addition to a better understanding of microbe-mediated decomposition processes, postmortem succession of human-associated microbial communities has been suggested as a possible forensic tool for estimating time since dea...
متن کاملSynthetic Biology and the Gut Microbiome.
The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining human health. Functions performed by gastrointestinal microbes range from regulating metabolism to modulating immune and nervous system development. Scientists have attempted to exploit this importance through the development of engineered probiotics that are capable of producing and delivering small molecule therapeutics within the gut. Ho...

Brandl K, Kumar V, Eckmann L. Gut-liver axis at the frontier of hostmicrobial interactions. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 312: G413–G419, 2017. First published February 23, 2017; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.00361.2016.—Liver and intestine are tightly linked through the venous system of the portal circulation. Consequently, the liver is the primary recipient of gut-derived products, most promine...
