Are you feeding your “Friend or Foe” present in your gut?

Very interesting study how high fat diet favours one type of bacteria. A just 5 min podcast of the paper on Spotify and Apple podcast

🆕 How #Norfolk helped answer question of COVID-19 persistence🦠

With @nnuh.bsky.social & @jamespagethospital.bsky.social our researchers including @narbadlab.bsky.social & @qibsequencing.bsky.social have shown how long the virus persists in the saliva and faeces of infected people⤵️

New Paper Alert!

We report the genome sequence of Eubacterium callanderi AM6, isolated from a Parkinson’s disease patient.

This adds to our understanding of gut microbiota in neurodegenerative diseases
shorturl.at/pfZwV. This study was done in collaboration with SKAN Research Trust, India
Genome sequence of Eubacterium callanderi AM6, isolated from a Parkinson’s disease patient | Microbiology Resource Announcements
Eubacterium callanderi is a non-motile, gram-positive, anaerobic gut bacterium that produces short-chain fatty acids, supporting gut health and potentially benefiting conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and metabolic syndromes (1–3). Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor dysfunction, dopamine loss, and potential gut-brain axis involvement. Studying Eubacterium callanderi from PD patients may reveal its role in gut-brain interactions, neuroinflammation, and potential as a biomarker or therapeutic target. There is limited research on Eubacterium callanderi isolated from patients with PD. Here, we report the genome sequence of Eubacterium callanderi strain AM6, isolated from the fecal sample of a PD patient.
