Project description:Our group recently transcriptomically characterized coculture growth between Streptococcus mutans and several species of commensal streptococci (Rose et al, 2023). However, these experiments were carried out in our lab-based experimental medium, tryptone and yeast extract (TY-). To understand whether culturing these species within a medium that more closely mimics their natural environment alters the interaction, we evaluated both monoculture and coculture growth between the dental caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans and oral commensal species Streptococcus oralis in a half TY- / half human saliva mix that was optimally chosen based on our initial characterization of oral streptococci behaviors in medium mixes containing saliva. Our results surprising show that inclusion of saliva enhances the competition of Streptococcus mutans against commensal streptococci through upregulation of carbohydrate uptake and glycolytic pathways.

Project description:The gut-kidney axis plays a critical role in the progression of kidney disease through the interplay of gut microbiome and host proteome. This study examines the impact of microcystin-LR (MC-LR), a potent cyanotoxin, on kidney disease progression through alterations in the gut microbiome and host proteome.

Project description:Gut microbiota are known to influence oral drug disposition, yet the specific host pathways they affect remain poorly characterized. This study provides a transcriptome-wide characterization of how physiological gut microbiota regulate the expression of intestinal transporters, phase I and phase II metabolic enzymes, and barrier machinery relevant to oral drug disposition. By identifying microbiota-responsive processes, this work defines the scope of inter-individual variability attributable to gut microbial effects.

Project description:Those FASTQ are used in a paper where are primarily compared the variations in the oral microbiota composition between HIV patients and healthy controls (HC). In addition, it is performed a longitudinal evaluation of the oral-gut microbiota-immunity axis from HIV-infected patients before starting ART (T0) and after reaching virological suppression (T24 weeks).

Project description:Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a globally prevalent degenerative joint disorder that imposes significant socioeconomic burdens. While traditionally viewed as a localized “wear-and-tear” disease, emerging evidence supports a systemic pathogenesis involving the gut-joint axis. The oral-gut-joint pathway remains underexplored in OA pathophysiology. Objective: This study aimed to characterize oral and gut microbiota signatures in knee OA patients and elucidate their functional connections to cartilage degeneration through multiomics integration. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study involving 25 OA patients and 20 healthy controls. 16S rDNA gene amplicon sequencing region was performed on fecal and oropharyngeal swab samples. Cartilage tissues were subjected to transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. Results: We identified distinct dysbiosis patterns in both the gut and oral microbiomes of OA patients. The α-Diversity of the gut microbiota significantly increased (P < 0.05) with enrichment of Ruminococcaceae and Subdoligranulum. Concurrently, the oral microbiota showed increased α-Diversity and activation of the lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis pathway. We constructed two significant cross-omics correlation modules: one linking gut microbes (Lachnospiraceae and Muribaculaceae) to cartilage inflammatory genes (MAPK11, ITGB3, CD55 and ANGPT2) and extracellular matrix remodelling proteins and another connecting gut microbes (Helicobacter, Pseudomonas, and Phocea) with CXCL14 and GNGT2. Conclusion: Our study revealed the dysbiotic characteristics of the oral-gut microbiome and its complex functional connections with pathological changes in cartilage. These findings offer novel mechanistic insights and potential therapeutic targets for microbiota-based precision interventions in OA.

Project description:Antibiotic use can lead to expansion of multi-drug resistant pathobionts within the gut microbiome that can cause life-threatening infections. Selective alternatives to conventional antibiotics are in dire need. Here, we describe a Klebsiella PhageBank that enables the rapid design of antimicrobial bacteriophage cocktails to treat multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Using a transposon library in carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae, we identified host factors required for phage infection in major Klebsiella phage families. Leveraging the diversity of the PhageBank and experimental evolution strategies, we formulated combinations of phages that minimize the occurrence of phage resistance in vitro. Optimized bacteriophage cocktails selectively suppressed the burden of multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae in the mouse gut microbiome and drove bacterial populations to lose key virulence factors that act as phage receptors. Further, phage-mediated diversification of bacterial populations in the gut enabled co-evolution of phage variants with higher virulence and a broader host range. Altogether, the Klebsiella PhageBank represents a roadmap for both phage researchers and clinicians to enable phage therapy against a critical multidrug-resistant human pathogen.

Project description:The gut microbiome shapes local and systemic immunity. The liver is presumed to be a protected sterile site. As such, a hepatic microbiome has not been examined. Here, we show that the liver hosts a robust microbiome in mice and humans that is distinct from the gut and is enriched in Proteobacteria. It undergoes dynamic alterations with age and is influenced by the environment and host physiology. Fecal microbial transfer experiments revealed that the liver microbiome is populated from the gut in a highly selective manner. Hepatic immunity is dependent on the microbiome, specifically Bacteroidetes species. Targeting Bacteroidetes with oral antibiotics reduced the hepatic immune cell infiltrate by ~90%, prevented APC maturation, and mitigated adaptive immunity. Mechanistically, presentation of Bacteroidetes-derived glycosphingolipids to NKT cells promotes CCL5 signaling, which drives hepatic leukocyte expansion and maturation. Collectively, we reveal a microbial – glycosphingolipid – NKT – CCL5 axis that underlies hepatic immunity.
