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 This ancillary cohort study of the Vitamin D Antenatal Asthma Reduction Trial (VDAART) examines the association of the gut microbiome in infancy with development of motor skills, problem solving, communication, and personal and social skills at preschool age. Proportion of variance in the association between flavonoid intake and abdominal fat that is explained by the microbiome. The proportion of the association between intake of anthocyanin-rich foods and VAT that could be explained by the gut microbiome was 14.4% for α-diversity, 11.8% for β-diversity, 6.7% for abundance of Clostridiales, 12.7% Microbiome-association index: Measuring the fraction of variance of a host phenotype that can be jointly inferred by the gut microbiome and host genome contents Requires a single test: To date, global association tests have been employed in mGWAS in a limited manner.

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.

Microbiome-association index: Measuring the fraction of variance of a host phenotype that can be jointly inferred by the gut microbiome and host genome contents Requires a single test: To date, global association tests have been employed in mGWAS in a limited manner. A preliminary analysis demonstrated decolonization of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) in association with clinical response. In parallel, we are developing a Microbiome Health Index (MHI™) to monitor dysbiosis and microbiome restoration. 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 Reported associations between the human microbiome and disease are often inconsistent. 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 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.

Analyze the human microbiome with experimental techniques including shotgun Human microbiome analysis is the study of microbial communities found in and (2012) A metagenome-wide association of gut microbiota in type 2 diabetes. 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. IMPORTANCE MiSH, which is based on the skin microbiome, can quantitatively assess pediatric skin health across cohorts from distinct countries over large geographic distances. Moreover, the index can identify a risk-prone skin state and compare treatment effect in children, suggesting applications in diagnosis and patient stratification. 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%) .
