A Mexican staple food prepared with corn "tortilla" (Zea mays L.) and common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is named as "taco". It was fermented in an in vitro colonic Simulator of Human Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME®) to evaluate the effect in short cha...
OBJECTIVES: Endoscopy remains the gold standard to diagnose and evaluate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity. Current biomarkers or their combinations cannot adequately predict IBD risk, diagnosis, progression or relapse, and response to therap...
In recent years, the use of fermented plant products to protect against various metabolic syndromes has been increasing enormously. The objective of this study was to check the regulatory efficacy of fermented plant extract (FPE) on intestinal microf...
Pediococcus acidilactici UL5 is a promising probiotic candidate due to its high survival rate under gastric and duodenal conditions and to its ability to produce the antilisterial bacteriocin pediocin PA-1. Its survival, metabolic activity, and impac...

INTRODUCTION: Gut microbiota (GM) is implicated in the remnant liver regeneration (LR) after partial hepatectomy (PH) and affects outcomes. Our study shifts the algorithmic computational modeling from the classical knowledge of (LR) to that of (GM) i...
Diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic disorder and one of the fastest-growing global public health concerns. The gut microbiota is implicated in the pathophysiology of various diseases, including diabetes. This study utilized 16S rRNA metagenomic ...
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder associated with significant neurocognitive and behavioral impairments. Recent studies have highlighted the role of gut microbiota and the microbiota-gut-brain axi...
