Disrupted Ecology and H. parainfluenzae Distinguish the Gut Microbiota of an Ethnic Minority Predisposed to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The study compares gut microbiota between Dutch and South-Asian Surinamese groups, finding differences in SCFA-producing taxa linked to T2DM risk.

Phylogeny and disease links of a widespread and ancient gut phage lineage

The paper identifies a widespread gut phage lineage, Ca. Heliusvirales, present in ancient and modern humans, and links its diversity to lifestyle and disease.

High fat diet changes bacterial signatures in the murine pancreas

This study shows that a high-fat diet alters bacterial DNA signatures in the pancreas of mice, suggesting potential bacterial translocation from the gut.

Drivers and Determinants of Strain Dynamics Following Faecal Microbiota Transplantation

This study identifies recipient and donor microbiome factors that determine strain dynamics after FMT, independent of clinical outcomes.

Members of a highly widespread bacteriophage family are hallmarks of metabolic syndrome gut microbiomes

The paper identifies phage families associated with metabolic syndrome by analyzing gut phageome changes and their relationship to bacterial communities.

Species- and strain-level assessment using rrn long-amplicons suggests donor's influence on gut microbial transference via fecal transplants in metabolic syndrome subjects

The paper assesses donor influence on gut microbial transference via fecal transplants using rrn long-amplicons in metabolic syndrome subjects, finding donor strain engraftment correlates with metabolic health improvement.
