Exploring the pathogen binding potential within the human gut microbiome
The infection process of bacterial gastroenteritis often relies on the initial binding of toxins to carbohydrate receptors on host cells. We screened the human gut microbiota for microorganisms naturally expressing toxin-binding carbohydrate structures. Out of stool samples from four healthy adult donors, we isolated bacterial strains specifically binding the cholera toxin and the heat labile toxin. These results suggest a new mechanism by which the microbiome may shape people’s individual sensitivity to gastrointestinal infections. This study may also pave the way for the development of non-antibiotic microbiome based strategies to treat and prevent gastrointestinal infections.
期刊介绍:
The innumerable microbes living in and on our bodies are known to affect human wellbeing, but our knowledge of their role is still at the very early stages of understanding. Human Microbiome is a new open access journal dedicated to research on the impact of the microbiome on human health and disease. The journal will publish original research, reviews, comments, human microbe descriptions and genome, and letters. Topics covered will include: the repertoire of human-associated microbes, therapeutic intervention, pathophysiology, experimental models, physiological, geographical, and pathological changes, and technical reports; genomic, metabolomic, transcriptomic, and culturomic approaches are welcome.
