Microbiome research has grown rapidly over the past decade, with a proliferation of new
methods that seek to make sense of large, complex data sets. Here, we survey two of the …

Metagenomics and marker gene approaches, coupled with high-throughput sequencing
technologies, have revolutionized the field of microbial ecology. Metagenomics is a culture …

Antibiotics are used to fight pathogens but also target commensal bacteria, disturbing the
composition of gut microbiota and causing dysbiosis and disease. Despite this well-known …

During the transition from a healthy state to cardiometabolic disease, patients become
heavily medicated, which leads to an increasingly aberrant gut microbiome and serum …

The link between the gut microbiota and type 2 diabetes (T2D) warrants further investigation
because of known confounding effects from antidiabetic treatment. Here, we profiled the gut …

Association studies have linked microbiome alterations with many human diseases.
However, they have not always reported consistent results, thereby necessitating cross …

Microbiome community ty** analyses have recently identified the Bacteroides 2 (Bact2)
enterotype, an intestinal microbiota configuration that is associated with systemic …

A few commonly used non-antibiotic drugs have recently been associated with changes in
gut microbiome composition, but the extent of this phenomenon is unknown. Here, we …

To minimize the impact of antibiotics, gut microorganisms harbour and exchange antibiotics
resistance genes, collectively called their resistome. Using shotgun sequencing-based …

Complex carbohydrates of plants are the main food sources of animals and microbes, and
serve as promising renewable feedstock for biofuel and biomaterial production …
