Antibiotic resistance poses a significant threat to global health, contributing to millions of deaths each year. A crucial factor in the recurrence of infections and the increased usage of antibiotics is the presence of a small subset of bacterial cells…
The gut microbiome and mitochondria, both essential to human health, have a dynamic and significant interaction. Emerging research shows that gut microbial metabolites have a major impact on mitochondrial function, linking gut health to cellular energy production and systemic inflammation.…
The human microbiome, the community of microorganisms living in our bodies, plays a crucial role in our overall health. Researchers have often identified correlations between certain bacterial groups and various health conditions, but understanding the precise genetic and ecological factors…
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver condition worldwide. Recent studies have highlighted a link between NAFLD development and gut microbiota dysbiosis. Probiotics have been proposed as a therapeutic strategy to restore a healthy gut ecology.…
Childhood stunting is a significant global health issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It is associated with impaired cognitive development, increased risk of infections, morbidity, and mortality. Recent research suggests that the composition of the enteric microbiota may…
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that has been increasingly linked to alterations in gut microbiota. This study aims to identify common gut microbial features in PD across different countries by meta-analyzing fecal shotgun sequencing data from Japan and…

Geneva, May 15, 2024 — The World Health Organization (WHO) has released the 2024 edition of its Bacterial Priority Pathogens List (BPPL), a critical tool in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This updated list, which builds on the…
Why Does This Matter to You? Imagine eating a delicious meal and then experiencing unexplainable headaches, bloating, or a rash. You might blame it on stress or something you ate, but did you know that a little molecule called histamine,…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a significant global health challenge, exacerbated by the misuse of antibiotics and the horizontal transfer of resistance genes across bacterial pathogens. The role of environmental stressors, such as disinfectants, in modulating AMR evolution and horizontal gene…
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) presents a significant health concern during pregnancy, characterized by insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation. Recent research has highlighted the role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in GDM pregnancies, impacting both maternal and offspring health outcomes. This study,…
Understanding the effects of medical interventions on the gut microbiome, resistome, and mycobiome of preterm infants is crucial for advancing infection prevention and treatment strategies. Researchers in this study conducted a prospective quasi-intervention study to investigate how antibiotics, probiotics, and…
