Changes in the equine fecal microbiota associated with the use of systemic antimicrobial drugs
BACKGROUND The intestinal tract is a rich and complex environment and its microbiota has been shown to have an important role in health and disease in the host. Several factors can cause disruption of the normal intestinal microbiota, including antimicrobial therapy, which is an important cause of diarrhea in horses. This study aimed to characterize changes in the fecal bacterial populations of...
متن کاملDietary fiber supplementation with psyllium or gum arabic reduced fecal incontinence in community-living adults.
Intervention Participants were allocated to receive 31 days of dietary fibre supplementation with psyllium 7.1 g/day (n=13); gum arabic 25 g/day (n=13); or placebo given as pectin 0.25 g/day (n=13). Supplements were mixed into fruit juice and divided into 2 servings for consumption during the morning and evening meals. Participants were instructed to maintain their usual diet.

متن کاملShifts in the Fecal Microbiota Associated with Adenomatous Polyps.
BACKGROUND Adenomatous polyps are the most common precursor to colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. We sought to learn more about early events of carcinogenesis by investigating shifts in the gut microbiota of patients with adenomas. METHODS We analyzed 16S rRNA gene sequences from the fecal microbiota of patients with adenomas (n = 233) an...
متن کاملSusceptibility to Campylobacter Infection Is Associated with the Species Composition of the Human Fecal Microbiota
UNLABELLED The gut microbiota is essential for human health, but very little is known about how the composition of this ecosystem can influence and respond to bacterial infections. Here we address this by prospectively studying the gut microbiota composition before, during, and after natural Campylobacter infection in exposed poultry abattoir workers. The gut microbiota composition was analyzed...
متن کاملFecal Protease Activity Is Associated with Compositional Alterations in the Intestinal Microbiota
OBJECTIVE Intestinal proteases carry out a variety of functions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Studies have reported that elevated enteric proteases in patients with GI disease can alter intestinal physiology, however the origin (human vs. microbial) of elevated proteases in patients with GI disease is unclear. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the association between protease...
