The human bowel is host to a diverse group of bacteria with over 500 different bacterial species contributing to this diversity. Until recently these bacteria were regarded as residents without any specific functions. The last two decades have seen a radical change in our understanding of the interactions between the gut flora and their eukaryotic hosts and there is a growing appreciation of th...

The gut microbiome is important for host health and can be influenced by environmental hormonal changes. We studied the interactions between anthropogenic land use, glucocorticoid hormones, bacterial communities in common toads (Bufo bufo). sampled tadpoles from ponds of three habitat types (natural, agricultural, urban ponds), examined composition using amplicon sequencing 16S rRNA gene, measu...

Escherichia coli is a microorganism that found in the normal intestinal microbiota of humans and warm-blooded animals, causing or extra-intestinal infections. Many pathogenic E. strains can cause diarrhea, septicemia, neonatal meningitis, mastitis, urogenital system infections various intra-abdominal, lung, soft tissue skin pets. Determining genotypic phenotypic characteristics isolated from an...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is encountered in bowel disorders, including irritable bowel symptoms. Low degrees of inflammation have been recently reported in the irritable bowel syndrome. We looked for the association between intestinal inflammation and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in irritable bowel syndrome. METHODS Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth...

The intestinal health of poultry is great importance for birds’ growth and development; probiotics-driven shifts in gut microbiome can exert considerable indirect effect on welfare production performance. information about microbiota ducks scarce; by using high throughput metagenomic sequencing with Illumina Miseq we examined fecal bacterial diversity Peking grown conventional Bacillus-probioti...

Human intestinal microbiota create a complex polymicrobial ecology. This is characterised by its high population density, wide diversity and complexity of interaction. Any dysbalance of this complex intestinal microbiome, both qualitative and quantitative, might have serious health consequence for a macro-organism, including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome (SIBO). SIBO is defined...
