as the urinary microbiota, which have been implicated in urinary tract disorders. This …

It has become increasingly clear that we live in a symbiotic relationship with microbes within
us. We are just beginning to unravel the nature and strength of this relationship and its …

Advances in the analysis of amplicon sequence datasets have introduced a methodological
shift in how research teams investigate microbial biodiversity, away from sequence identity …

Purpose Preclinical studies using ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) irradiation have
demonstrated reduced normal tissue toxicity compared with conventional dose rate (CONV) …

Antibiotic-induced modulation of the intestinal microbiota can lead to Clostridioides difficile
infection (CDI), which is associated with considerable morbidity, mortality, and healthcare …

Microbial communities are essential for a healthy soil ecosystem. Metals and radionuclides
can exert a persistent pressure on the soil microbial community. However, little is known on …

Background Amplicon sequencing of phylogenetic marker genes, eg, 16S, 18S, or ITS
ribosomal RNA sequences, is still the most commonly used method to determine the …

There is currently no criterion to select appropriate bioinformatics tools and reference
databases for analysis of 16S rRNA amplicon data in the human oral microbiome. Our study …

The aetiopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) involves the complex
interaction between a patient's genetic predisposition, environment, gut microbiota and …

Background Numerous studies have implicated that the gut microbiota is associated with
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, a comprehensive data-based summary shown …
