Neutrophil elastase alters the murine gut mirobiota resulting in enhanced Salmonella colonization
Download2012
Hartmann, Martin, Sekirov, Inna, Finlay, B. Brett, Al-Zahrani, Fatimah, Willing, Benjamin P., Ferreira, Rosana B. R., Gill, Navkiran, Antunes, L. Caetano M.
The intestinal microbiota has been found to play a central role in the colonization of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we present a novel process through which Salmonella benefit from inflammatory induced changes in the microbiota in order to...

Novel Treatments for Intestinal Failure Explored in Neonatal Piglets with Short Bowel Syndrome: Focusing on the Microbiome, Sepsis and Trophic Factors
DownloadSpring 2024
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the leading cause of intestinal failure (IF) in infants, and occurs when there is a significant loss of intestine due to acquired or congenital reasons, leading to infants being unable to absorb sufficient nutrients for survival and growth. SBS traditionally had a...

Bell, R.C., Mostyn, A., Astbury, S., Symonds, M.E.
Adequate adaptation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is important during pregnancy to ensure that the increased metabolic demands by the developing fetus are met. These include changes in surface area mediated by villus hypertrophy and enhanced functional capacity of individual nutrient...

Ruminants have the capacity to utilize fibrous plant materials as substrates to provide energy for maintenance and growth. However, digestion of poor quality forage is incomplete in ruminants and varies among individual animals. Consequently, two studies were conducted in an attempt to elucidate...

Profiling the Bacterial and Fungal Gut Microbiome of Children with and without Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)
DownloadFall 2020
Obesity is a complex multifactorial disease that has a large array of direct (e.g. altered metabolic and inflammatory profile) and indirect (e.g. mental health concerns etc.) consequences on health and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is the most...

Regulation of digestive tract and progenitor cell homeostasis by intestinal bacteria in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2020
The digestive tract facilitates nutrient uptake in the presence of a heterogenous cohort of symbiotic microbes. These microbes along with their collective genetic material form the intestinal microbiome and contribute to animal phenotypes. Similar to mammals, the microbiome of insects forms a...

Resistance and Membrane Fluidity of Endospores of Clostridium spp. During Pressure-Assisted Thermal Processing in the Presence of Antimicrobials
DownloadSpring 2012
Endospores of Clostridium spp. pose an economic threat to the food industry and put consumers at risk of foodborne illness. An increase in consumer demand for minimally-processed, ready-to-eat products has driven research to examine ways to mitigate current thermal processing severity used to...

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...

The intestinal microbiota plays a role in Salmonella-induced colitis independent of pathogen colonization
Download2011
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...
