The Approach to Sample Acquisition and Its Impact on the Derived Human Fecal Microbiome and VOC Metabolome
Recent studies have illustrated the importance of the microbiota in maintaining a healthy state, as well as promoting disease states. The intestinal microbiota exerts its effects primarily through its metabolites, and metabolomics investigations have begun to evaluate the diagnostic and health implications of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) isolated from human feces, enabled by specialized sa...
متن کاملComparison of Six Culture Methods for Salmonella Isolation from Poultry Fecal Samples
Abstract Background and Objective: Salmonellosis is one of the most important food-borne bacterial zoonotic diseases worldwide, and poultry and its products are the major sources for salmonella transmission to human. Isolation of Salmonellaenterica from poultry needs bacteriologic enrichment and selected cultures of fecal samples. In this study, different culture methods for the isolation of s...
متن کاملClassification of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients via k-important Neighbors in High Dimensional Metabolomics Dataset
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by progressive loss of renal function, is becoming a growing problem in the general population. New analytical technologies such as “omics”-based approaches, including metabolomics, provide a useful platform for biomarker discovery and improvement of CKD management. In metabolomics studies, not only prediction accuracy is ...
متن کاملFecal Microbiome in Epidemiologic Studies-Response.
We thank Drew and colleagues (1) for their interest in our recent publication (2) and share in their enthusiasm for identifying "a straight forward self-collection procedure" for "multiple molecular analyses." Fecal collection and sampling have continued to be a topic of study, including our own published works (2–4). In our reply to the comment by Drew and colleagues, we offer short clarificat...
متن کاملUnsupervised Discovery and Comparison of Structural Families Across Multiple Samples in Untargeted Metabolomics
In untargeted metabolomics approaches, the inability to structurally annotate relevant features and map them to biochemical pathways is hampering the full exploitation of many metabolomics experiments. Furthermore, variable metabolic content across samples result in sparse feature matrices that are statistically hard to handle. Here, we introduce MS2LDA+ that tackles both above-mentioned proble...
