H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA Resident gut microbes co-exist with transient bacteria to form the gut microbiota. Despite increasing evidence suggesting a role for transient microbes on gut microbiota function, the interplay between resident and transient members of this microbial community is poorly defined. We aimed to determine the extent to which a host’s autochthonous gut microbiota influences niche permissivity to transient bacteria using a fermented milk product (FMP) as a vehicle for five food-borne bacterial strains. Using conventional and gnotobiotic rats and gut microbiome analyses (16S rRNA genes pyrosequencing and reverse transcription qPCR), we demonstrated that the clearance kinetics of one FMP bacterium, Lactococcus lactis CNCM I-1631, were dependent on the structure of the resident gut microbiota. Susceptibility of the resident gut microbiota to modulation by FMP intervention correlated with increased persistence of L. lactis. We also observed gut microbiome configurations that were associated with altered stability upon exposure to transient bacteria. Our study supports the concept that allochthonous bacteria have transient and subject-specific effects on the gut microbiome that can be leveraged to re-engineer the gut microbiome and improve dysbiosis-related diseases.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1. Overview of Alzheimer’s disease a. Description/Definition Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of age-related disease (aged over 65 years old), accounting for about 55 – 70% of dementia (Bertram, 2007; Bu et al., 2015; Mandell and Green, 2011). AD is characterized by progressive loss of memory and neurodegeneration of the central nervous system, leading to disorder in cognition and behavior of AD patients (Bertram, 2007; Mandell and Green, 2011). The life span of AD patients from onset may last about 10 years but can be as long as 20 years. b. Stages and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease Stages of AD vary among individual and determination of stages that patients are suffering from is the most importance of AD treatment. The standard approach to classify AD stages relies on a mental status examination, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (Folstein et al., 1975; Knopman). AD manifestations can be categorized into three stages with symptoms (López and DeKosky, 2008) presented in Table 1. 1 Table 1.

    Curing Piglets from Diarrhea and Preparation of a Healthy

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Curing piglets from diarrhea and preparation of a healthy microbiome with Bacillus treatment for industrial animal breeding Shousong Yue1, Zhentian Li2, Fuli Hu3 & Jean‑François Picimbon1,4* High‑throughput farming of animals for an essential purpose such as large scale health and production of hogs is a challenge for the food industry in the modern world. The problem is that the breeding of livestock for fast growth or high yields of meat is often associated with illness and microbial infection that develop under the breeding conditions. Piglet diarrhea is most common pig disease, leading to heavy mortality and thereby economic loss. We proved that chemical drugs can relieve the symptoms of diarrhea in ill piglets, but they do not treat the underlying cause, i.e. signifcantly altered bacterial gut fora. Using Illumina sequencing of fecal DNA, we showed that the bacterial gut fora of piglets treated with antibiotics remain close to the ill conditions. However, using Illumina sequencing of fecal DNA from piglets treated with a specifc Bacillus (Bacillus subtilis Y‑15, B. amyloliquefaciens DN6502 and B. licheniformis SDZD02) demonstrated the efciency of natural bioproducts not only on curing diarrhea, but also on benefcial bacteria to re‑establish in the piglet gut. We therefore propose a new natural “medicine” to be explored by the world farm animal agriculture industry, particularly for sustainable improvement of swine livestock production and health. Animal breeding is an old practice developed by humans for the production of dairy foods (cattle), transport (horses), rodeo or recreational events (dogs and bison for instance).

    Gut Microbiota and Metabolic Health Among Overweight and Obese

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Gut microbiota and metabolic health among overweight and obese individuals Mi‑Hyun Kim1, Kyung Eun Yun1, Jimin Kim1, Eunkyo Park2, Yoosoo Chang1,3,4, Seungho Ryu1,3,4, Hyung‑Lae Kim2 & Han‑Na Kim1,4,5* Although obesity is associated with numerous diseases, the risks of disease may depend on metabolic health. Associations between the gut microbiota, obesity, and metabolic syndrome have been reported, but diferences in microbiomes according to metabolic health in the obese population have not been explored in previous studies. Here, we investigated the composition of gut microbiota according to metabolic health status in obese and overweight subjects. A total of 747 overweight or obese adults were categorized by metabolic health status, and their fecal microbiota were profled using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. We classifed these adults into a metabolically healthy group (MH, N = 317) without any components of metabolic syndrome or a metabolically unhealthy group (MU, N = 430) defned as having at least one metabolic abnormality. The phylogenetic and non‑ phylogenetic alpha diversity for gut microbiota were lower in the MU group than the MH group, and there were signifcant diferences in gut microbiota bacterial composition between the two groups. We found that the genus Oscillospira and the family Coriobacteriaceae were associated with good metabolic health in the overweight and obese populations. This is the frst report to describe gut microbial diversity and composition in metabolically healthy and unhealthy overweight and obese individuals. Modulation of the gut microbiome may help prevent metabolic abnormalities in the obese population. Te prevalence of obesity and obesity-related diseases is growing worldwide.

    Diet Induced Changes in the Microbiota and Cell Composition of Rabbit Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT)

Juste1,5, Ehsan Khafpour3,4 & Natalia Elguezabal1 The gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is the largest immune organ of the body. Although the gut transient and mucosa-associated microbiota have been largely studied, the microbiota that colonizes the GALT has received less attention. The gut microbiome plays an important role in competitive exclusion of pathogens and in development and maturation of immunity. Diet is a key factor afecting the microbiota composition in the digestive tract. To investigate the relation between diet, microbiota and GALT, microbial and cell composition of vermiform appendix (VA) and sacculus rotundus (SR) were studied in two groups of New Zealand white rabbits on diferent diets. Diet shifted the lymphoid tissue microbiota afecting the presence and/or absence of certain taxa and their abundances. Immunohistochemistry revealed that a higher fbre content diet resulted in M cell hyperplasia and an increase of recently recruited macrophages, whereas T-cell levels remained unaltered in animals on both high fbre and standard diets. These fndings indicate that diet has an impact on the microbiota and cell composition of the GALT, which could act as an important microbial recognition site where interactions with benefcial bacteria can take place favouring microbiota replacement after digestive dysregulations. Te gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is the largest immune organ of the body. It is a well-developed com- ponent of the mucosal immune system that is involved in protection of the host against pathogens and in the postnatal immune system maturation1.

    The microbes we eat: abundance and taxonomy of microbes consumed in a day’s worth of meals for three diet types Jenna M. Lang1, Jonathan A. Eisen2 and Angela M. Zivkovic3,4 1 Genome Center, University of California, Davis, CA, USA 2 Genome Center, Evolution and Ecology, Medical Microbiology and Immunology, University of California, Davis, CA, USA 3 Department of Nutrition, University of California, Davis, CA, USA 4 Foods for Health Institute, University of California, Davis, CA, USA ABSTRACT Far more attention has been paid to the microbes in our feces than the microbes in our food. Research eVorts dedicated to the microbes that we eat have historically been focused on a fairly narrow range of species, namely those which cause disease and those which are thought to confer some “probiotic” health benefit. Little is known about the eVects of ingested microbial communities that are present in typical American diets, and even the basic questions of which microbes, how many of them, and how much they vary from diet to diet and meal to meal, have not been answered. We characterized the microbiota of three diVerent dietary patterns in order to estimate: the average total amount of daily microbes ingested via food and bever- ages, and their composition in three daily meal plans representing three diVerent dietary patterns. The three dietary patterns analyzed were: (1) the Average American (AMERICAN): focused on convenience foods, (2) USDA recommended (USDA): emphasizing fruits and vegetables, lean meat, dairy, and whole grains, and (3) Vegan (VEGAN): excluding all animal products. Meals were prepared in a home kitchen or purchased at restaurants and blended, followed by microbial analysis including aero- bic, anaerobic, yeast and mold plate counts as well as 16S rRNA PCR survey analysis.
