Gut microbiome perturbations induced by bacterial infection affect arsenic biotransformation.
Exposure to arsenic affects large human populations worldwide and has been associated with a long list of human diseases, including skin, bladder, lung, and liver cancers, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. In addition, there are large individual differences in susceptibility to arsenic-induced diseases, which are frequently associated with different patterns of arsenic metabolism. Several...
متن کاملSystems Modeling of Interactions between Mucosal Immunity and the Gut Microbiome during Clostridium difficile Infection
Clostridium difficile infections are associated with the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and result in an exuberant inflammatory response, leading to nosocomial diarrhea, colitis and even death. To better understand the dynamics of mucosal immunity during C. difficile infection from initiation through expansion to resolution, we built a computational model of the mucosal immune response to th...
متن کاملRole of Gut Microbiome in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder that affects 8-13% of women at reproductive age worldwide. This disorder is usually associated with menstrual disorders, infertility, obesity, and insulin resistance. The underlying cause of this syndrome is unknown, however in recent years, researchers have shown an association between intestinal microbiota alterations )dysbiosi...
متن کاملOn the Stability Landscape of the Human Gut Microbiome: Implications for Microbiome-based Therapies
Understanding how gut microbial species determine their abundances is crucial in developing any microbiome-based therapy. Towards that end, we show that the compositions of our gut microbiota have characteristic and attractive steady states, and hence respond to perturbations in predictable ways. This is achieved by developing a new method to analyze the stability landscape of the human gut mic...
متن کاملGut Microbiome and Host Defense Interactions during Critical Illness
For many years it has been hypothesized that the gut has an important detrimental role in promoting systemic inflammation and infection in the critically ill. During stress and mucosal hypoxia, the mucosa is damaged and host defenses break down causing translocation of bacteria and bacterial toxins which are thought to contribute to the overwhelming inflammation associated with sepsis and multi...
