Study finds link between genes and amount of bacterial toxins in the blood

Lipopolysaccharide, a virulence factor produced by bacteria, is a toxin that can cause a systemic inflammation via the circulation. In a recently completed study, genetic markers were discovered which are associated with a heightened lipopolysaccharide level in the blood.

Machine learning approach effective in predicting antibiotic resistance spread

Genes aren't only inherited through birth. Bacteria have the ability to pass genes to each other, or pick them up from their environment, through a process called horizonal gene transfer, which is a major culprit in the spread of antibiotic resistance.

Instability in gut microbiota associated with COVID-19-related complications and mortality, study finds

Researchers from Germany recently analyzed saliva and fecal samples from SARS-CoV-2 infected and post-COVID-19 patients and controls while considering multiple influencing factors during hospitalization. This study is available on the bioRxiv* preprint server.

Scientists suggest a new approach to mitigating the collateral damage from antibiotics

Antibiotics help us to treat bacterial infections and save millions of lives each year. But they can also harm the helpful microbes residing in our gut, weakening one of our body's first lines of defense against pathogens and compromising the multiple beneficial effects our microbiota has for our health.

Healthy gut microbiome needed for skeletal muscles to fully grow after exercising, study suggests

If further research can identify the substances that the bacteria of the gut are making to help muscles grow following exercise, we might be able to use some of those substances to promote the growth of muscles in people suffering from the loss of muscle as typically seen with aging or cancer.

Gram-positive and -negative bacteria found to be involved in periodontal bone loss

Mouths are filthy, harboring the second largest microbiome of the human body. Some bacteria can help break down food, among other responsibilities; other bacteria can travel into the mouth on food, fingers, pen caps and more to contribute to gum disease and other oral infections.
