The human virome: assembly, composition and host interactions
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 …

Microbiota succession throughout life from the cradle to the grave
Associations between age and the human microbiota are robust and reproducible. The
microbial composition at several body sites can predict human chronological age relatively …

Lung microbiome: new insights into the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases
The lungs were long thought to be sterile until technical advances uncovered the presence
of the lung microbial community. The microbiome of healthy lungs is mainly derived from the …

Optimizing methods and dodging pitfalls in microbiome research
Research on the human microbiome has yielded numerous insights into health and disease,
but also has resulted in a wealth of experimental artifacts. Here, we present suggestions for …

Ecology of the oral microbiome: beyond bacteria
Although great strides have been made in understanding the complex bacterial community
inhabiting the human oral cavity, for a variety of (mainly technical) reasons the ecological …

Phages rarely encode antibiotic resistance genes: a cautionary tale for virome analyses
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are pervasive in gut microbiota, but it remains unclear
how often ARGs are transferred, particularly to pathogens. Traditionally, ARG spread is …

Antibiotic use and microbiome function
Our microbiome should be understood as one of the most complex components of the
human body. The use of β-lactam antibiotics is one of the microbiome covariates that …

Same exposure but two radically different responses to antibiotics: resilience of the salivary microbiome versus long-term microbial shifts in feces
E Zaura, BW Brandt, MJ Teixeira de Mattos, MJ Buijs… - MBio, 2015 - Am Soc Microbiol
Due to the spread of resistance, antibiotic exposure receives increasing attention. Ecological
consequences for the different niches of individual microbiomes are, however, largely …
