Clostridioides difficile PCR Tcdb Cycle Threshold predicts toxin EIA positivity but not severity of infection
CONCLUSION: CT value was an acceptable predictor for EIA toxin but less so for clinical severity. Our study potentially supports a diagnostic algorithm including CT value to reduce the number of EIA toxin assays performed.PMID:37406762 | DOI:10.1016/j.anaerobe.2023.102755 (Source: Anaerobe)

Comparison of microbiological profile of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) isolates from subjects with colorectal cancer (CRC) or intestinal pre-cancerous lesions versus healthy individuals and evaluation of environmental factors involved in intestinal dysbiosis
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that some types of ETBF seem to better adapt and colonize the human gut and that the selective pressure exerted by factors related to lifestyle, such as pharmacological therapy and weight, could facilitate their persistence in the gut and their possible involvement in CRC development.PMID:37380012 | DOI:10.1016/j.anaerobe.2023.102757 (Source: Anaerobe)

Anaerobes in specific infectious and noninfectious diseases: new developments
Anaerobe. 2023 Jun;81:102714. doi: 10.1016/j.anaerobe.2023.102714.ABSTRACTWith the buildup of new research data, newer associations between anaerobic bacteria and diseases/conditions were evaluated. The aim of the mini-review was to draw attention and to encourage further multidisciplinary studies of the associations. We considered microbiome-disease correlations such as a decrease of fecal Faecalibacterium prausnitzii abundance in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and IBD recurrence, suggesting that F. prausnitzii could be a good biomarker for IBD. A link of subgingival Porphyromonas gingivalis with cardiovascular diseases...

Comparative evaluation of MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rRNA gene sequencing for the identification of clinically relevant anaerobic bacteria. Critical evaluation of discrepant results
CONCLUSIONS: MALDI-TOF is a reliable technique for identifying most anaerobic bacteria, although the database needs frequent updating to identify rare, infrequent, and newly discovered species.PMID:37321445 | DOI:10.1016/j.anaerobe.2023.102754 (Source: Anaerobe)
