Linking the Gut Microbial Ecosystem with the Environment: Does Gut Health Depend on Where We Live?
Global comparisons reveal a decrease in gut microbiota diversity attributed to Western diets, lifestyle practices such as caesarian section, antibiotic use and formula-feeding of infants, and sanitation of the living environment. While gut microbial diversity is decreasing, the prevalence of chronic inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, obesity, allergies and asthm...
متن کاملHuman Gut Hosts a Dynamically Evolving Microbial Ecosystem
1390 The struggle for survival is challenging enough that diverse forms of life manage the feat only with the help of others. In this regard, humans differ little from termites: just as microbes in the termite gut break down cellulose in its wood-based diet, vast throngs of bacteria in the human intestinal tract break down polysaccharides from plants for us. Scientists have made considerable pr...
متن کاملDisruption of the Gut Ecosystem by Antibiotics
The intestinal microbiota is a complex ecosystem consisting of various microorganisms that expands human genetic repertoire and therefore affects human health and disease. The metabolic processes and signal transduction pathways of the host and intestinal microorganisms are intimately linked, and abnormal progression of each process leads to changes in the intestinal environment. Alterations in...
متن کاملSymbiosis within the gut microbial community of termites
The Optimization Team of the Bioarchitect Research Group studies integrated biological systems that have probably been optimized during evolution. Approaches toward the creation of novel biological functions on the basis of understanding optimized systems are characteristic of this team. As one of the optimized systems, symbiosis within the gut microbial community of termites has been studied, ...
متن کاملMicrobial endocrinology: host-bacteria communication within the gut microbiome.
The human body is home to trillions of micro-organisms, which are increasingly being shown to have significant effects on a variety of disease states. Evidence exists that a bidirectional communication is taking place between us and our microbiome co-habitants, and that this dialogue is capable of influencing our health in a variety of ways. This review considers how host hormonal signals shape...
