Microbial Dysbiosis in Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Patients (2011, background): “Consequently, main groups, genus and species out of dominant and sub dominant bacterial populations, have been quantified by qPCR which is now routinely used to quantify the bacterial composition of the microbiota of healthy or diseased people or animals [9,18].”
Interactions and competition within the microbial community of the human colon: links between diet and health. (2007, background): “, 2005) and of high G + C content Gram-positive Bifidobacterium and Atopobium that appear to be underestimated by clone library approaches (Harmsen et al., 2002; Flint, 2006; Mueller et al., 2006).”
Age-related changes in gut microbiota composition from newborn to centenarian: a cross-sectional study (2016, background): “However, almost all studies related to the gut microbiota of the elderly have been performed on subjects classified into segmented age groups based on varying definitions of ‘elderly’, such as ‘over 60’ [12], ‘over 65’ [13], ‘over 70’ [14] or ‘centenarian’ [15].”
Reduced Dietary Intake of Carbohydrates by Obese Subjects Results in Decreased Concentrations of Butyrate and Butyrate-Producing Bacteria in Feces (2006, background): “Quantification of bacterial groups involved in particular metabolic roles is now feasible following development of specific 16S rRNA-targeted probes for many human colonic bacterial groups (25, 39, 48, 60).”
Symbiotic gut microbes modulate human metabolic phenotypes (2008, background): “A previous cross-sectional study (n 230 from four European countries) also showed that gender-specific differences were observed in the Bacteroides-Prevotella group with males more prominent than females (19).”
Composition, variability, and temporal stability of the intestinal microbiota of the elderly (2010, background): “In a study based in four European countries using labeled probe technology, significant variations in the proportions of major bacteria phyla were recorded between countries, emphasizing the danger of generalization of findings from one study location to another (34) and illustrating the likelihood ”
Probiotics and prebiotics in animal feeding for safe food production. (2010, background): “In mammals, the percentage of the different microbial groups varies between individuals, depending on age (Mueller et al., 2006) and on the health/pathological status (Abt and Artis, 2009).”
Through Ageing, and Beyond: Gut Microbiota and Inflammatory Status in Seniors and Centenarians (2010, background): “years old) and elderly with a wide interval of age, ranging from 60 to 95 years old [14,16,17].”
Intestinal microbiota in human health and disease: the impact of probiotics (2011, background): “Culture-independent studies have demonstrated that the composition of the intestinal microbiota significantly changes with age (Bartosch et al. 2004; Mariat et al. 2009; Mueller et al. 2006; Zwielehner et al. 2009).”
The Hologenome Concept: Human, Animal and Plant Microbiota (2014, background): “Human microbial communities are affected by factors such as lifestyle, dietary patterns, antibiotic usage, and by the host genotype, age (Nam et al. 2011), and gender (Mueller et al. 2006; Markle et al. 2013).”
