The discovery of the size and complexity of the human microbiome has resulted in an
ongoing reevaluation of many concepts of health and disease, including diseases affecting …

Studies of the roles of microbial communities in the development of inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD) have reached an important milestone. A decade of genome-wide association …

Specific members of the intestinal microbiota dramatically affect inflammatory bowel disease
(IBD) in mice. In humans, however, identifying bacteria that preferentially affect disease …

Human microbial colonization begins at birth and continues to develop and modulate in
species abundance for about 3 years, until the microbiota becomes adult-like. During the …

Recent studies have linked human gut microbes to obesity and inflammatory bowel disease,
but consistent signals have been difficult to identify. Here we test for indicator taxa and …

Several bacterial species have been implicated in the development of colorectal carcinoma
(CRC), but CRC‐associated changes of fecal microbiota and their potential for cancer …

In complex biological systems, small molecules often mediate microbe-microbe and microbe-
host interactions. Using a systematic approach, we identified 3,118 small-molecule …

Much has been learned about the diversity and distribution of human-associated microbial
communities, but we still know little about the biology of the microbiome, how it interacts with …

Interactions between the host and gut microbial community likely contribute to Crohn
disease (CD) pathogenesis; however, direct evidence for these interactions at the onset of …

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to perform a meta-analysis investigating
antibiotic exposure as a risk factor for developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) …
