Associations between age and the human microbiota are robust and reproducible. The
microbial composition at several body sites can predict human chronological age relatively …

The human body hosts vast microbial communities, termed the microbiome. Less well
known is the fact that the human body also hosts vast numbers of different viruses …

Gut bacteriome dysbiosis is known to be implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory
bowel disease (IBD). Crohn's disease (CD) is an IBD subtype with extensive mucosal …

Background Akkermansia muciniphila is a human gut microbe with a key role in the
physiology of the intestinal mucus layer and reported associations with decreased body …

Altered enteric microorganisms in concert with host genetics shape inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD) phenotypes. However, insight is limited to bacteria and fungi. We found that …

Bacteriophages (phages) are bacterial viruses that have been shown to shape microbial
communities. Previous studies have shown that faecal virome transplantation can decrease …

The human body is colonized by a wide range of microorganisms. The field of viromics has
expanded since the first reports on the detection of viruses via metagenomic sequencing in …

Objective The gut virome is a dense community of viruses inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract
and an integral part of the microbiota. The virome coexists with the other components of the …

Fecal filtrate transfer (FFT) is emerging as a safer alternative to traditional fecal microbiota
transplantation (FMT)–particularly in the context of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a severe …

Background The gut virome has been implicated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet a
full understanding of the gut virome in IBD patients, especially across diverse geographic …
