Small intestine early innate immunity response during intestinal colonization by Escherichia coli depends on its extra-intestinal virulence status
Download2016
Denamur, Erick, Tourret, Jérôme, Dion, Sara, Willing, Benjamin P., Wachtel, Sarah, Finlay, B. Brett, Dufour, Nicolas, Croxen, Matthew A.
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains live as commensals in the digestive tract of the host, but they can also initiate urinary tract infections. The aim of this work was to determine how a host detects the presence of a new UPEC strain in the digestive tract. Mice were orally challenged...

Spectral Editing for Detection of Oncologically Relevant Metabolites with In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 9.4 T
DownloadFall 2019
Short echo time (TE) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques with spectral fitting are commonly employed approaches for brain metabolite quantification at 9.4 T. However, there is a significant overlap of peaks in short-TE spectra, even at 9.4 T. To better resolve resonances, spectral...

Ruth, Megan R., Field, Catherine J.
The intestine and the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) are essential components of whole body immune defense, protecting the body from foreign antigens and pathogens, while allowing tolerance to commensal bacteria and dietary antigens. The requirement for protein to support the immune system...

The intestinal microbiota plays a role in Salmonella-induced colitis independent of pathogen colonization

Antunes, L. Caetano M., Gill, Navkiran, Russell, Shannon L., Finlay, B. Brett, Ferreira, Rosana B., Croxen, Matthew A., Willing, Benjamin P.
The intestinal microbiota is composed of hundreds of species of bacteria, fungi and protozoa and is critical for numerous biological processes, such as nutrient acquisition, vitamin production, and colonization resistance against bacterial pathogens. We studied the role of the intestinal...

BackgroundEvidence is emerging that the gut microbiome is an important contributor to the weight and metabolic effects of bariatric surgery. However, the microbial and intestinal physiological changes that occur with bariatric surgery are poorly understood. Developing this understanding...

Ileocolic resection is frequently performed for Crohn's disease; however, disease commonly recurs early in the neo-terminal ileum. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the microbial and immunologic factors inherent to ileocecal resection as they pertain to post-operative recurrence of...

The role of intestinal microbiota in development of irinotecan toxicity and in toxicity reduction through dietary fibres in rats
Download2014
Baracos, Vickie, Dieleman, Levinus, Farhangfar, Arazm, Lin, Xiaoxi B., Gänzle, Michael G., Sawyer, Michael B., Valcheva, Rosica, Schieber, Andreas
CPT-11 is a drug used as chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. CPT-11 causes toxic side-effects in patients. CPT-11 toxicity has been attributed to the activity of intestinal microbiota, however, intestinal microbiota may also have protective effects in CP!-11 chemotherapy. This study aimed to...

Understanding the role of Clostridioides difficile and Vitamin D supplementation in shaping the gut microbiome of Canadian infants
DownloadSpring 2019
Introduction: The gut microbiome is shaped during infancy and has an important role in the development of both the immune and metabolic systems. Many early life exposures and events contribute to the composition of this complex intestinal environment, notably early infant diet and breastfeeding....
