In the study, published in Nature Microbiology, researchers tested 38 types of human gut bacteria and found that many could ...

The Bacteroides microbes helped to reduce body fat, prevent weight gain, and also prevented insulin resistance, a key factor in Type 2 diabetes. In the same study, lean mice given bacteria from ...

They have now applied this magnified analysis to monitor changes in sub-strains over shorter periods of time, days or weeks, in two key gut bacteria -- B. vulgatus and Bacteroides uniformis.

Former subspecies of Bacteroides fragilis have been elevated to species rank; and Bacteroides uniformis and an unnamed group ("3452A"), recognized. A new genus, Capnocytophaga, with three species, is ...

In this study, the investigators demonstrated that mice that carried Bacteroides gut microbes (and in particular: Bacteroides caccae, Bacteroides uniformis, and Bacteroides ovatus) had an increased ...

In contrast, Bacteroides uniformis and Bacteroides vulgatus showed inter-individual oscillation over time with the appearance of either donor or recipient fecal strain dominance.

In contrast, Bacteroides uniformis and Bacteroides vulgatus showed inter-individual oscillation over time with the appearance of either donor or recipient fecal strain dominance.

B. uniformis is known to be underrepresented in people with irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease, suggesting a role in intestinal health.
