Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: Crohn's disease (CD) and Intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) are chronic inflammatory ulcero-constrictive intestinal diseases with similar phenotype. Although both are disease models of chronic inflammation and their clinical presentations, imaging, histological and endoscopic findings are very similar, yet their etiologies are diverse. Hence, we aimed to look at differences in the prevalence of pathobionts like adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter jejuni and Yersinia enterocolitica in CD and ITB as well as their associations with host-associated genetic polymorphisms in genes majorly involved in pathways of microbial handling and immune responses.
Methods: The study cohort included 142 subjects (69 patients with CD, 32 with ITB and 41 controls). RT- PCR amplification was used to detect the presence of AIEC, L. monocytogenes, C. jejuni, and Y. enterocolitica DNA in colonic mucosal biopsies. Additionally, we tested three SNPs in IRGM (rs13361189, rs10065172, and rs4958847), one SNP in ATG16L1 (rs2241880) and one SNP in TNFRSF1A (rs4149570) by real-time PCR with SYBR green from peripheral blood samples in this cohort.
Results: In patients with CD, AIEC was most frequently present (16/ 69, 23.19%) followed by L. monocytogenes (14/69, 20.29%), C. jejuni (9/69, 13.04%), and Y. enterocolitica (7/69, 10.14%). Among them, L. monocytogenes and Y. enterocolitica were significantly associated with CD (p = 0.02). In addition, we identified all the three SNPs in IRGM (rs13361189, rs10065172, and rs4958847), one SNP in ATG16L1 (rs2241880) and TNFRSF1A (rs4149570) with a significant difference in frequency in patients with CD compared with ITB and controls (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Higher prevalence of host gene polymorphisms, as well as the presence of pathobionts, was seen in the colonic mucosa of patients with CD as compared to ITB, although both are disease models of chronic inflammation.

Dysbiosis in the Upper Airway and Gut and Altered Urine Metabolome in Malaysian Diabetic Patients.

Gut dysbiosis and an increased risk of respiratory infection in type 2 diabetes have been well recognised. However, the relationship between the gut and respiratory pathobionts carriage rate in the Type 2 diabetic Malaysian population is understudied. To address the knowledge gap, we profiled the gut and upper respiratory tract microbial composition, as well as the urine metabolome of 31 type 2 diabetic adults and 14 non-diabetes adults.

Background: The ongoing burden of mortality and morbidity associated with infections requires that monitoring of carriage epidemiology continues. Here, we present data from the annual, cross-sectional surveillance study in Southampton UK on serotype epidemiology and diversity, as well as carriage of other frequent colonisers of the respiratory tract in over 7000 children over a period of seventeen years (2006–2023).
Methods: Children were recruited from two sites: Site 1 - Southampton General Hospital, administered by University Hospital Southampton (UHS) NHS Foundation Trust and Site 2– a collection of community health care facilities within the Solent NHS Trust region.
Maternal Faecalibacterium pathobionts and low-fiber diets synergize to impact offspring health: implications for atopic dermatitis.

Background: The incidence of atopic dermatitis (AD) has increased globally in recent decades. A recent study identified enrichment of Faecalibacterium subspecies in young AD patients, implicating these gut bacteria in disease pathogenesis. This was unexpected, as Faecalibacterium is widely recognized as one of the most beneficial bacteria in the human gut.

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a high-prevalence disease that threatens human survival and quality of life worldwide. Considerable evidence has suggested that periodontitis (PD) is detrimental to MI. However, the direct impact of PD on MI is unclear; which oral pathobionts contribute to and how microbial signals regulate the pathogenesis of MI remain obscure.

During the last decade, there has been a significant rise in the incidence of diabetes particularly, in Asian and African countries. Although obesity is an established risk factor for diabetes, more than 50% of diabetes patients in Asian and African countries are non-obese, which is in contrast to the Western population. The pathophysiology of non-obese diabetes remains largely unexplored, and recent studies have highlighted the possible role of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and gut microbiota in the prevalence of non-obese type 2 diabetes.
