NewsFeeding your good gut bacteria through fibre in diet may boost body against infections
Researchers who used computational approaches to analyse the gut microbiome composition of over 12,000 peoplefrom their stool samples found that a person’s microbiome ‘signature’ can predict whether their gut is likely to be colonised by Enterobacteriaceae.

NewsWe may be overestimating the association between gut bacteria and disease, study finds
Many bacterial-linked illnesses, such as inflammatory bowel disease or colorectal cancer, are associated with an overgrowth of gut bacteria thought to be bad actors. But when researchers used a machine learning algorithm to predict the density of microbes—called microbial load, from their gut microbiomes, they found that changes in microbial ...

NewsMicrobial load can influence disease associations, new model reveals
Scientists have developed a new machine-learning model to predict microbial load — the density of microbes in our guts — and used it to demonstrate how microbial load plays an important role in disease-microbiome associations.
-
NewsOne genomic test can diagnose nearly any infection
A genomic test to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use.

NewsNew GPS system for microorganisms could revolutionise police forensics work
A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed an AI tool that traces back the most recent places you have been to. The tool acts like a satellite navigation system, but instead of guiding you to your hotel, it identifies the geographical source of microorganisms. ...
