Gut microbiome

Changes in the gut microbiome of infants are functionally linked to childhood obesity, highlighting the potential for early interventions to promote long-term health.

Genomic profiles of the human gut microbiome reveal the hidden impacts of asymptomatic, antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, as well as potential solutions for their reversal.

Understanding the impact of antibiotics on both infants and adults could help restore the delicate balance of the gut microbiome.

Keystone bacterial species help to restore gut microbial diversity after treatment with antibiotics, paving the way for improved prebiotic and probiotic formulations.

Apart from the mode of delivery and breastfeeding, genetics and cultural practices could also have a profound impact on the type of bacteria in an infant’s gut.

A*STAR scientists have devised an algorithm for accurately assembling genomes, paving the way for in-depth analysis of microbial communities in the human gut.
