News1,000-year-old gut microbiome revealed for young man who lived in pre-Hispanic Mexico
Analysis of preserved feces and intestinal tissue has revealed specific types of bacteria that were present in the microbiome of a young adult man who lived in Mexico about 1,000 years ago, prior to Spanish colonization.

NewsNew antibiotic targets IBD — and AI predicted how it would work before scientists could prove it
The new antibiotic, enterololin, attacks and kills only a specific group of disease-causing bugs, which includes the type of E. coli that drives Crohn’s disease. It is a promising new treatment option for people affected by Crohn’s and other IBD-related conditions.

NewsFeeding your good gut bacteria through fibre in diet may boost body against infections
Researchers who used computational approaches to analyse the gut microbiome composition of over 12,000 peoplefrom their stool samples found that a person’s microbiome ‘signature’ can predict whether their gut is likely to be colonised by Enterobacteriaceae.

NewsIn lab tests, dietary zinc inhibits AMR gene transmission
Genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can spread from microbe to microbe through plasmids, and this lateral transfer occurs in the gut - but transmission of some AMR plasmids may be inhibited by dietary zinc supplements.

NewsScientists ID combination of bacterial strains that could treat antibiotic-resistant gut infections
Researchers have isolated 18 bacterial strains from stool from healthy people that could potentially be an effective treatment for antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections in patients with chronic inflammatory intestinal conditions.

NewsNew study considers risks of colistin and carbapenem resistance posed by aquatic farms
Aquatic farms could serve as a potential reservoir of colistin and carbapenem resistance, a new study warns. The review, by researchers at the University of Manchester, ‘An Update on the Prevalence of Colistin and Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in Aquaculture: an Emerging Threat to Public Health’, has been accepted by the ...
