Dec 21, 2018 α-diversity indices. α-diversity is an intuitive and natural index which summarizes the extent of microbial diversity in a community. A variety of α- A number of studies has reported associations between the composition of the gut Since the choice of diversity index can significantly influence results [140], Dec 11, 2019 Flavonoid intake modifies the composition of the gut microbiome, in CASAVA 1.8.2 with no mismatches in either index sequence allowed. Nov 8, 2018 The association between hypertension and α diversity was no longer significant when the analysis was adjusted by age and body mass index. called the “microbiome-association-index” (b2) (Rothschild et al. 2018). This measure quantifies the total variance explained between microbiota and Recently we showed association of gut fungal microbiome with bacterial keratitis. 19 Shannon diversity index, Simpson index (evenness), number of observed

Significant associations are observed between the gut microbiome and host phenotypes for body mass index (BMI) (25%), waist-to-hip ratio (24%), fasting glucose levels (22%), glycemic status (25%), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels (36%), and monthly lactose consumption (36%) . Meanwhile, microbiome-association index (b 2) has been specifically developed to quantify the overall association of microbiome to host’s phenotype, incorporating the contribution of host genetics. called the “microbiome-association-index” (b 2 ) (Rothschild et al. 2018) . Here, we sought to examine the impact of patient factors (such as menopause status, body mass index, and vaginal pH) in the microbiome in the absence of EC and how these might contribute to the The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) is the oldest and largest single life science membership organization in the world. Membership has grown from 59 scientists in 1899 to more than 39,000 members today, with more than one third located outside the United States. The members represent 26 disciplines of microbiological specialization plus a division for microbiology educators. Our understanding of the human gut microbiome continues to evolve at a rapid pace, but practical application of thisknowledge is still in its infancy. This review discusses the type of studies that will be essential for translating microbiome research into targeted modulations with dedicated benefits for the human host. More and more studies are looking at the association between the gut microbiome and weight gain, with some scientists suggesting the makeup of bacteria in the gut may influence an individual’s

Background: Significant dysbiosis occurs in the gut microbiome of stroke patients. Condensing these broad, complex changes into one index would greatly facilitate the clinical usage of gut microbiome data. Here, we formulated a gut microbiota index in patients with acute ischemic stroke based on their gut microbiota dysbiosis patterns and tested whether the index was correlated with brain

Here, Duvallet et al. perform a meta-analysis of 28 gut microbiome studies spanning ten diseases, and find Humans are essentially sterile during gestation, but during and after birth, every body surface, including the skin, mouth, and gut, becomes host to an enormous variety of microbes, bacterial, archaeal, fungal, and viral. Under normal circumstances, these microbes help us to digest our food and to maintain our immune systems, but dysfunction of the human microbiota has been linked to Introduction. Obesity is a worldwide public health problem continuing to rise rapidly, affecting more than 107.7 million children and 603.7 million adults around the globe and accounting for over 60% of deaths related to high body-mass index (BMI). 1 If the rising trends persist, global obesity prevalence is estimated to reach 18% in men and over 21% in women by 2025. 2 Furthermore, 20% of the The Human Microbiome Project has transitioned from Common Fund support. Common Fund programs are strategic investments that achieve a set of high-impact goals within a 5-10 year timeframe. At the conclusion of each program, deliverables transition to other sources of support or use by the broader scientific community. The NIH Common Fund Human Microbiome Project (HMP) was established with the mission of generating research resources enabling comprehensive characterization of the human microbiota and analysis of their role in human health and disease.
