Summary: This systematic review examines the differences in fecal microbiota between infants and young children with FGIDs and healthy controls. Despite methodological limitations, the data suggest alterations in microbial diversity, stability, and colonization patterns in FGIDs patients. Increases in pathogenic bacteria and decreases in beneficial bacteria are observed in colicky infants and children with functional constipation.

Summary: This study investigated the gut fungal and archaeal community composition in Large White piglets using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. The results showed specific successional alterations in the gut archaea, fungi, bacteria, and serum metabolites during piglet weaning transitions, providing a theoretical framework for understanding how gut bacterial colonization and succession are associated with archaea.

Summary: The use of adalimumab therapy in individuals with HS resulted in changes to gut microbiota composition and function, as well as increased levels of SCFAs. These findings suggest that SCFAs may serve as a potential biomarker for HS.

Summary: COVID-19 patients' faecal metabolome is enriched with important nutrients and harmful metabolites, with certain metabolites significantly correlated with altered serum metabolites and gut microbes; discharged patients' faecal metabolites showed no difference in some components compared to healthy controls, but significant differences were observed in others, reflecting potential malnutrition and intestinal inflammation.

Summary: Older individuals are more susceptible to severe respiratory infections. A cross-sectional study on rhesus macaque model reveals age-related changes in lung function, microbial composition, and immune landscape, explaining the increased prevalence and severity of respiratory diseases in the elderly.

Summary: Sustainable meat production is crucial for providing safe and high-quality protein sources for humans worldwide. The composition and functions of the microbial community play a vital role in the digestion, immune system development, and meat quality of animals. Nutraceuticals have been shown to improve meat quality by altering the intestinal microbiota and regulating host fat deposition and immunity.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a supplement on gut health and microbiome of weaning puppies. The supplement reduced markers of gut inflammation and caused some changes in the gut microbiome. It concluded that the supplement can promote intestinal health and facilitate weaning in puppies.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that gut and vaginal microbiota play a role in the biosynthesis and metabolism of sex hormones, and vice versa. This research investigated the association between gut and vaginal microbiota and the estrus return of weaning sows. The findings indicate distinct differences in microbial composition, predicted functional capacities, and serum metabolites between normal return and non-return sows, suggesting a potential link between microbiota, metabolites, and estrus return in weaning sows.

Summary: This study demonstrated that storing and transporting gFOBT samples at room temperature is a suitable method for microbiome biomarkers in developing countries, and suggested a consistent association between CRC and fecal microbiome in both developed and developing countries.

Summary: This study found that early weaning in piglets results in severe enteric inflammatory responses and microbiota dysbiosis, potentially due to dysregulations in autophagy and apoptosis pathways as well as adjustments in gut microbiota.

Summary: The study found no significant difference in fecal bacterial composition between horses with and without free faecal liquid (FFL), but there was an effect of sampling period. However, at certain sampling periods, 14 genera showed slightly higher or lower abundance in horses with FFL. Case horses had higher relative abundance of Alloprevotella and lower relative abundance of Bacillus spp. in at least two sampling periods compared to controls.

Summary: Growing evidences indicate a direct connection between diarrhea and gut microbiota disorders in pigs. This study compared the microbial community, functions, and metabolites between healthy weaned piglets and piglets with post-weaning diarrhea to identify microbial markers associated with diarrhea. The results showed that the composition, function, and metabolic profile of the microbiota were significantly altered in piglets with diarrhea, and the reduced abundance of Bacteroides was closely associated with the diarrhea status. The study suggests that the lower abundance of Bacteroides and associated metabolic dysfunction may serve as microbial markers for post-weaning diarrhea in piglets.

Summary: The study revealed that MystA and MystB in Aspergillus flavus play significant roles in regulating conidiation, sclerotia formation, and aflatoxin production, with MystB being particularly important. Additionally, the catalytic domain and catalytic site of Myst are crucial for its acetyltransferase function, and mystB is involved in oxidative detoxification.
