Fecal Microbiome in Epidemiologic Studies-Letter.
We congratulate Sinha and colleagues on their recent report (1) comparing fecal sample collection methods for epidemiologic studies of the gut microbiome. These data contribute to the increasing body of literature describing robust methodologic frameworks for specimen collection and processing (2, 3). However, their claim that fixation of stool using RNAlater results in "considerable changes to...
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 کاملThe Fecal Microbiome in Cats with Diarrhea
Recent studies have revealed that microbes play an important role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in various animal species, but only limited data is available about the microbiome in cats with GI disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the fecal microbiome in cats with diarrhea. Fecal samples were obtained from healthy cats (n = 21) and cats with acute (n = 19) or ...
متن کاملCollecting Fecal Samples for Microbiome Analyses in Epidemiology Studies.
BACKGROUND The need to develop valid methods for sampling and analyzing fecal specimens for microbiome studies is increasingly important, especially for large population studies. METHODS Some of the most important attributes of any sampling method are reproducibility, stability, and accuracy. We compared seven fecal sampling methods [no additive, RNAlater, 70% ethanol, EDTA, dry swab, and pre...
متن کاملFecal microbial transplant effect on clinical outcomes and fecal microbiome in active Crohn's disease.
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory intestinal disorder associated with fecal dysbiosis. Fecal microbial transplant (FMT) is a potential therapeutic option for individuals with CD based on the hypothesis that changing the fecal dysbiosis could promote less intestinal inflammation. METHODS Nine patients, aged 12 to 19 years, with mild-to-moderate symptoms defin...
