This study demonstrates high reproducibility in a DTC microbiome testing workflow using NIST fecal reference material across multiple processing steps and real-world conditions.

The paper integrates stool chemistry metrics with shotgun metagenomics in adults to identify distinct gut health profiles associated with microbial and inflammatory markers.

The paper benchmarks metagenomic pipelines using age- and body site-specific synthetic communities, showing THMCv2 has higher recall and F1 scores while MetaPhlAn4 has higher precision.

This study compares the growth and protein expression of non-O157 STEC serotypes and non-STEC E. coli in bovine rumen environments under different dietary conditions.

This study shows that therapeutic doses of bacitracin methylene disalicylate increase antibiotic resistance genes and alter microbiota metabolism in turkeys, while subtherapeutic doses have temporary effects.

This paper characterizes two novel butyrate-producing Lachnospiraceae species isolated from swine feces, showing their metabolic versatility and potential probiotic role in swine gut health.

This study shows that resistant potato starch improves gut health in pigs by altering microbiota composition, increasing butyrate, and enhancing mucosal defenses.
