NewsTeen acne treatment can have knock-on impact on gut microbiome and maturing skeleton
Long-term use of systemic antibiotics to treat adolescent acne can perturb the gut microbiome, leading to altered profiles of circulating bile acids that reduce osteoblast function and bone mass accrual, researchers show.

NewsMicrobiome in wood warbler’s gut driven by evolution rather than diet
Scientists have found that differences among the microbes that live within wood warblers’ digestive tracts are not primarily driven by diet diversity, contrary to a recently proposed hypothesis.

NewsAntibiotic resistant microbes in gut make C difficile more infectious
Scientists have found that Enterococcus – an antibiotic-resistant, opportunistic pathogen – works together with Clostridioides difficile in the human gut, reshaping and enhancing the metabolic environment in the gut so that C. difficile can thrive.

NewsProbiotic ‘backpacks’ could treat inflammatory bowel diseases
Researchers have devised specialised nano-particles that can neutralise molecules linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and can be attached to beneficial probiotic bacteria targeting the gut.
-
NewsGood friendships may make for a healthier gut microbiome
Researchers have found that sociable monkeys have more beneficial gut bacteria and fewer harmful gut bacteria.

NewsRestoring the gut biome after antibiotics could lead to better outcomes for ovarian cancer patients
Antibiotics routinely used in ovarian cancer care indiscriminately kill gut bacteria, leading to faster cancer progression and lower survival rates, according to recent Cleveland Clinic research.
-
NewsGut parasites could aid the spread of respiratory bugs in rabbits
Researchers have found that co-infection with one or more gut parasites increases shedding of Bordetella bacterium and could increase onward transmission.
-
NewsNew method offers real time monitoring of gut microbiome
Researchers have found a simple and innovative way to examine the intestinal bacteria of the human small intestine to show how they support the digestive process by reacting dynamically to the human nutritional status.

NewsGut microbes drive brain circuit pruning for social development in zebrafish and mice
Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control social behavior, new UO research in zebrafish shows

NewsGut bacteria can enhance the effects of cocaine in mice
Common gut bacteria can enhance the effects of cocaine in mice, researchers report.

NewsCOVID-19 virus increases risk of other infections by disrupting normal mix of gut bacteria
Infection with Covid-19 can reduce the number of bacterial species in a patient’s gut, with the lesser diversity creating space for dangerous microbes to thrive, a new study has found.
-
NewsGut bacterium could trigger rheumatoid arthritis in those at risk
Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine have discovered that a unique bacterium found in the gut could be responsible for triggering rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in people already at risk for the autoimmune disease.

NewsControlling gut flora can reduce mortality in critically ill patients on life support
Preventing severe lung infections in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients by applying topical antibiotics to the upper digestive tract results in a clinically meaningful improvement in survival, new research shows.
-
NewsNovel insecticides thought safe for honey bees are devastating their gut flora
Insecticides containing flupyradifurone and sulfoxaflor damage honey bees’ intestinal flora, especially when used in conjunction with a common fungicide, making them more susceptible to disease and shortening their life span.

NewsNicotine-degrading bacteria protects against smoking-related liver disease in mice
A gut bacterium capable of breaking down nicotine and protecting against smoking-related fatty liver disease progression in a mouse model has been identified in a Nature paper.
-
NewsAlterations to gut mucus may trigger ulcerative colitis
Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences proposes a set of conditions that could act as a starting point for the development of ulcerative colitis.

NewsGut could sound early warning alarm for motor neurone disease
The same proteins thought to contribute to motor neurone disease can be found in the gut many years before any brain symptoms occur, a new study by the University of Aberdeen has found.
