HIV-associated changes in the enteric microbial community: potential role in loss of homeostasis and development of systemic inflammation
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Despite HIV therapy advances, average life expectancy in HIV-infected individuals on effective treatment is significantly decreased relative to uninfected persons, largely because of increased incidence of inflammation-related diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and renal dysfunction. The enteric microbial community could potentially cause this inflammation, as HIV-driven...
متن کاملMicrobial Enteric Neurophysiology
The myenteric plexus contains a type of neuron that innervates the mucosa, and projects to all other classes of myenteric neurons. This neuron has a specific multipolar morphotype and possesses a characteristic action potential whose firing frequency is moderated a potassium current dependent post-spike slow after-hyperpolarisation. The neuron, termed AH cell, is functionally an intrinsic intes...
متن کاملChanges in Cystic Fibrosis Airway Microbial Community Associated with a Severe Decline in Lung Function
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease resulting in chronic polymicrobial infections of the airways and progressive decline in lung function. To gain insight into the underlying causes of severe lung diseases, we aimed at comparing the airway microbiota detected in sputum of CF patients with stable lung function (S) versus those with a substantial decline in lung function (SD). Microbiota co...
متن کاملShifts in coastal sediment oxygenation cause pronounced changes in microbial community composition and associated metabolism
BACKGROUND A key characteristic of eutrophication in coastal seas is the expansion of hypoxic bottom waters, often referred to as 'dead zones'. One proposed remediation strategy for coastal dead zones in the Baltic Sea is to mix the water column using pump stations, circulating oxygenated water to the sea bottom. Although microbial metabolism in the sediment surface is recognized as key in regu...
متن کاملCoupling Spatiotemporal Community Assembly Processes to Changes in Microbial Metabolism
Community assembly processes generate shifts in species abundances that influence ecosystem cycling of carbon and nutrients, yet our understanding of assembly remains largely separate from ecosystem-level functioning. Here, we investigate relationships between assembly and changes in microbial metabolism across space and time in hyporheic microbial communities. We pair sampling of two habitat t...
