The gut microbiota has been shown to play diverse roles in human health and disease
although the underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. Large cohort …

Human intestinal microbiota plays a number of important roles in human health and is also
implicated in several gastrointestinal disorders. Although the diversity of human gut …

The gut is inhabited by a densely populated ecosystem, the gut microbiota, that is
established at birth. However, the succession by which different bacteria are incorporated …

Gut microbial composition depends on different dietary habits just as health depends on
microbial metabolism, but the association of microbiota with different diets in human …

Despite the importance, the diversity of the human infant gut microbiota still remains poorly
characterized at the regional scale. Here, we investigated the faecal microbiota diversity in a …

Background It is clear that the structure and function of the human microbiota has significant
impact on maintenance of health and yet the factors that give rise to an adult microbiota are …

The importance of gut microbiota in gastrointestinal (GI) physiology was well described, but
our ability to study gut microbial ecosystems in their entirety was limited by culture-based …

Background The gut microbiota evolves from birth and is in early life influenced by events
such as birth mode, type of infant feeding, and maternal and infant antibiotics use. However …

As many inflammatory and metabolic disorders have been associated with structural deficits
of the human gut microbiota, the principles and mechanisms that govern its initialization and …

It is generally believed that the infant's microbiota is established during the first 1–2 years of
life. However, there is scarce data on its characterization and its comparison to the adult-like …
