Gut reaction

Molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium spp. isolated from gut of honeybees (Apis mellifera) from West Azerbaijan, Iran

Polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and phylogenetic analysis were used for molecular identification of lactic acid bacteria (LABs) isolated from Apis mellifera. Eighteen honeybee workers were collected from three different apiaries in West Azerbaijan. LABs from the gut of honeybees were isolated and cultured using routine biochemical proce...

Preparation of antigens from midgut of Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum and determining their immunoprotective effects

  Partially fed (4 -5 days) H .a. anatolicum (Iranian isolate) female adult ticks were used for preparation of antigens of midgut which are, the gut supernate antigen (GS), gut membrane antigen (GM), triton extracted gut membrane antigen ( TX-GM ) and sodium dodecyl sulphate treated Triton extracted gut membrane antigen (SDS-TX-GM). The New Zealand white rabbits were immunized with GS, GM, TX- ...

Chemical reaction vector embeddings: towards predicting drug metabolism in the human gut microbiome

Bacteria in the human gut have the ability to activate, inactivate, and reactivate drugs with both intended and unintended effects. For example, the drug digoxin is reduced to the inactive metabolite dihydrodigoxin by the gut Actinobacterium E. lenta, and patients colonized with high levels of drug metabolizing strains may have limited response to the drug. Understanding the complete space of d...

Investigating the number of Lactobaccilus, Escherichia coli and Prevotella in fecal microbiota of adenomatous polyposis and colorectal cancer patients

Background: Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in the world which is mainly caused by epigenetic and environmental factors. Among these epigenetic factors, gut microbiota is an important one. Although it has not been proved a unique group of bacteria correlated with colorectal cancer, these findings have generally demonstrated differences between healthy and disease gut microbio...

P 119: Role of Gut Bacteria on Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is the most common type of dementia.AD includes 60_80% of dementia and most people with AD have more than 65 years old.AD causes losing neuronal activity by abnormal proteins. Plaques of beta-amyloid and tangles of “tau” protein can lead to AD. Recently evidence has found that AD may come from outside of central nerv...
