Talking microbes: When gut bacteria interact with diet and host organs
Obesity and diabetes have reached epidemic proportions. Evidence suggests that besides dietary habits and physical activity, other environmental factors, such as gut microbes, are recognized as additional partners implicated in the control of energy homeostasis. Studies on the human gut microbiota have shown that the general population can be stratified on the sole basis of three dominant bacte...
متن کاملGut Microbes and Host Physiology: What Happens When You Host Billions of Guests?
The gut microbiota has recently emerged as an important, and previously unappreciated, player in host physiology (1). In particular, the gut microbiota contributes to a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes in the host including immune disorders (2–4), atherosclerosis (5), irritable bowel syndrome (6, 7), blood pressure regulation (8), and chronic kidney disease (9, 10). Bac...
متن کاملTalking microbes
The popular press typically describes microorganisms mainly as diseasecausing bugs that should be eliminated using antimicrobial drugs. However, this mindset overlooks both the substantial scientific contributions gleaned from studying microbial biology and our growing understanding that different microorganisms are fundamentally distinct in ways that need to be accounted for in drug discovery ...

متن کاملEvolution of host specialization in gut microbes: the bee gut as a model
Bacterial symbionts of eukaryotes often give up generalist lifestyles to specialize to particular hosts. The eusocial honey bees and bumble bees harbor two such specialized gut symbionts, Snodgrassella alvi and Gilliamella apicola. Not only are these microorganisms specific to bees, but different strains of these bacteria tend to assort according to host species. By using in-vivo microbial tran...
