Project description:v3-v4 16S rRNA sequencing was used to characterize both gut and oral microbiota composition of RCC (refractory chronic cough) patients and matched healthy controls (HC). The groups are matched in age and gender.
Project description:Fecal samples collected on day 5 from randomly selected colitic SD rats were analyzed for gut microbiota by sequencing the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. The orally administered Dex-P-laden NPA2 coacervate (Dex-P/NPA2) significantly restores the diversity of gut microbiota compared with colitic SD rats in the Dex-P/PBS group and the untreated colitic rats (Control).
Project description:Gut microbiota were assessed in 540 colonoscopy-screened adults by 16S rRNA gene sequencing of stool samples. Investigators compared gut microbiota diversity, overall composition, and normalized taxon abundance among these groups.
Project description:v3-v4 16S rRNA sequencing was used to characterize the differences in microbiota between specimens of breast cancer and healthy surrounding tissue in adult Algerian females
Project description:Age-dependent changes of the gut-associated microbiome have been linked to increased frailty and systemic inflammation. This study found that age-associated changes of the gut microbiome of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice could be reverted by co-housing of aged (22 months old) and adult (3 months old) mice for 30-40 days or faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from adult into aged mice. This was demonstrated using high-throughput sequencing of the V3-V4 hypervariable region of bacterial 16S rRNA gene isolated from faecal pellets collected from 3-4 months old adult and 22-23 months old aged mice before and after co-housing or FMT.
Project description:To compare the similarities and differences in species diversity of the gut microbiota between the patients with melasma and healthy subjects. The feces were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing analysis of the gut microbiota.
Project description:To explore the effects of gut microbiota of young (8 weeks) or old mice (18～20 months) on stroke, feces of young (Y1-Y9) and old mice (O6-O16) were collected and analyzed by 16s rRNA sequencing. Then stroke model was established on young mouse receive feces from old mouse (DOT1-15) and young mouse receive feces from young mouse (DYT1-15). 16s rRNA sequencing were also performed for those young mice received feces from young and old mice.
Project description:Purpose: This study aims to compare and analyze the differences in bacterial community composition in fecal samples from mice treated with Control(DW), Vancomycin (VAN), Ampicillin (AMP), Neomycin (NEO), Metronidazole (MET), and a combination of all antibiotics (ALL, VANM) using 16S rRNA sequencing. Methods: Each antibiotics treated mice's fecal samples were collected and stored -80'c until analyzation. DNA was extracted using the NucleoSpin DNA Stool Kit (MACHEREY-NAGEL) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Metagenomic sequencing was performed on an Illumina MiSeq platform (Illumina), targeting the V3 and V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene according to the manufacturer's instructions. PCR products were purified using AMPure XP beads, and sequencing adapters were added using the Nextera XT Index Kit (Illumina). The library was further purified with AMPure XP beads and quantified using automated electrophoresis with the TapeStation System (Agilent). Sequencing was performed using the MiSeq v3 reagent kit (Illumina), following the manufacturer’s protocol. Results: QIIME2 (v2023.02) was used to process and analyze 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data, from sequence preprocessing to taxonomic classification. Paired-end sequences were merged and quality-filtered using Deblur. The resulting amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were used for downstream analyses. Conclusions: Our study presents a comparative analysis of bacterial community composition in fecal samples from antibiotic-treated mice. We observed that microbiota composition varied distinctly depending on the type of antibiotic administered.
Project description:This study aimed to analyze changes in gut microbiota composition in mice after transplantation of fecal microbiota (FMT, N = 6) from the feces of NSCLC patients by analyzing fecal content using 16S rRNA sequencing, 10 days after transplantation. Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) mice were used for each experiments (N=4) as controls.
Project description:To address the role of gut microbiota in the development of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN), we performed 16S rRNA sequencing analysis of feces samples at 14 days and 28 days after the initiation of paclitaxel or vehicle injections.
