HHV-6B, HHV-7, and B19V Are Frequently Found DNA Viruses in the Human Thymus but Show No Definitive Link with Myasthenia Gravis

This study examines DNA viruses in the thymus of MG patients and controls, finding common viral presence but no specific association with MG.

Bacterial profiles of the oral, vaginal, and rectal mucosa and colostrum of periparturient sows

This study characterizes the microbiota of oral, vaginal, rectal mucosa, and colostrum in periparturient sows, identifying differences in microbial composition between primiparous and multiparous sows.

Impacts of maternal microbiota and microbial metabolites on fetal intestine, brain and placenta

This study investigates how maternal microbiota and metabolites affect fetal development in mouse models, showing gene expression changes in the intestine, brain, and placenta linked to microbial metabolites.

Metabolomic signature of the maternal microbiota in the fetus

The paper identifies metabolomic differences between germ-free and specific pathogen-free mice in placenta and fetal organs, suggesting microbial influence on fetal development.

The composition of the microbiota in the full-term fetal gut and amniotic fluid: a bovine caesarean section study

This study analyzes bacterial DNA in amniotic fluid and meconium of full-term calves to assess prenatal bacterial seeding, finding low bacterial DNA levels and rare viable bacteria.

The composition of the perinatal intestinal microbiota in horse

This study examines the development of the horse's intestinal microbiota from birth to 7 days using qPCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing, revealing early colonization patterns and maternal contributions.
