BACKGROUND: Drug addiction can seriously damage human physical and mental health, while detoxification is a long and difficult process. Although studies have reported changes in the oral microbiome of methamphetamine (METH) addicts, the role of the microbiome plays in this proces...
Chlamydia trachomatis, an intracellular pathogen, is recognized as the most common sexually transmitted bacterial infection among women worldwide. Chlamydia infections can lead to undesirable clinical outcomes, including pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. Recently, the gut has been...
Metabolites are important determinants of disease progression. In this study, we conducted a case-control study to explore permanent teeth caries-related differences in salivary metabolite profiles and related changes in the composition of the oral microbiota in 200 subjects including 100 caries-...
Background and Purpose: Previous studies have reported that oral low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) ameliorated colitis by undefined mechanisms in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Our study explored the mechanisms of LMWH on colitis from the perspective of gut microbiota and its metabolites.
Individuals vary widely in their drug responses, which can be dangerous and expensive due to treatment delays and adverse effects. Growing evidence implicates the gut microbiome in this variability, however the molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. We measured the ability of 76 diverse hum...
