Development of novel molecular tools for the identification of essential genes of Clostridium difficile and a Clostridium tetracycline inducible promoter system by Walker, David J.F.

“…For colonisation of C. difficile to occur in the gut of an individual, the resident gut flora must first be quantitatively or qualitatively altered, normally through antibiotic treatment for an unrelated infection. …”

Effects Of Lactobacillus Plantarum Dr7 On Stress And Anxiety In Adults: A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study by Chong, Hui Xian

“…Lately, much interest was generated in the potential role of gut flora in mental disorders. This randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled human study aimed to evaluate such properties of Lactobacillus plantarum DR7 and its possible underlying mechanisms of action in stressed adults for a period of 12 weeks.…”

Production of ligninolytic enzymes by Coptotermes curvignathus gut bacteria by Ayeronfe, Fadilah, Kassim, Angzzas, Hung, Patricia, Ishak, Nadiah, Sharfina Syarifah, Aripin, Ashuvila

“…Conventional methods employed in delignification require high inputs of energy and chemicals, resulting in the release of highly toxic effluents. The ability of gut flora of Coptotermes curvignathus in lignin degradation was investigated in this study. …”

In vitro fermentation of linear and α-1,2-branched dextrans by the human fecal microbiota by Sarbini, Shahrul Razid

“…These findings indicate that dextrans induce a selective effect on the gut flora, short-chain fatty acids, and gas production depending on their length. © 2011, American Society for Microbiology.…”

A high-content library screen of putative effectors from Crohn's disease associated bacterium adherent invasive Escherichia coli LF82 by Collins, Adam

“…The initiation of CD is thought to involve a complex interplay of factors, including: genetics, environmental factors, and the presence of key members of the gut flora, such as AIEC. While AIEC can be found in both healthy individuals and CD sufferers, the latter are believed to display a range of genetic mutations which collectively allow the entry of AIEC into host epithelial cells, and prevent bacterial removal by autophagic mechanisms. …”

Sciadonic acid attenuates high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice with alterations in the gut microbiota by Chen, Lin, Jiang, Qihong, Jiang, Chenkai, Lu, Hongling, Hu, Wenjun, Yu, Shaofang, Li, Mingqian, Tan, Chin Ping, Feng, Yongcai, Xiang, Xingwei, Shen, Guoxin

“…In this study, we evaluated the effects of SC on lipid metabolism and the gut flora in mice fed with a high-fat diet. The results revealed that SC activates the PPARα/SREBP-1C/FAS signaling pathway and reduces the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerols (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), but increases the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and inhibits weight gain. …”

Effects of Clostridium butyricum and sodium butyrate on growth performance, immunity, and gut microbiota of mirror carp Cyprinus carpio fed with soybean meal based diet by Du, Yi, Cheng, Long, Zhao, Jianhua, de Cruz, Clement R., Xu, Hong, Wang, Liansheng, Xu, Qiyou

“…In summary, our results indicated that CB and SB could promote the whole body CP and EE content, intestine immunity, digestive enzyme activity, and intestinal morphology, and modulated gut flora in carp.…”

The role of probiotics with lactic acid-producing bacteria in modulating the behaviour of rodent model following contusive spinal cord injury: preliminary study by Manickam, Danniya Lakshmi

“…This study addresses the need to examine locomotor recovery after SCI and presents an animal model that may help restore a healthy gut flora and improve SCI therapies. The primary objective is to create a reliable animal model of SCI with gut dysbiosis to test probiotic treatments. …”
