Researchers develop #database of the “food microbiome," sequencing the metagenomes of over 2500 foods. Learn more in Cell: cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Nicola Segata & Paul Cotter




This week you can meet Elisa Piperni at #Blastocystis24! Tuesday (Sept 17): Elisa will present our recently published work on micro-eukaryote Blastocystis in the human gut. Check out this thread for a summary x.com/elisapiperni/s… Microbiology Society CIBIO - UniTrento IEO


Elisa Elisa Piperni is presenting her work on #Blastocystis screening in the largest cohort investigated so far! #Blastocystis24 Microbiology Society BlastocystisCOST Nicola Segata


🥁 New Publication Alert: Our manuscript on the ☕️ and #microbiome relationship is out in Nature Microbiology: nature.com/articles/s4156… 1/12



Coffee consumption is associated with the presence and abundance of a specific member of the human gut microbiome, Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, and changes to the plasma metabolome, according to a paper in Nature Microbiology. go.nature.com/4i3gqUI


☕ Drinking coffee is associated with significant changes the gut microbiome, particularly increased Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, & elevated quinic acid in blood. Importantly, this is replicated across geographies. Interesting work from Segata Lab nature.com/articles/s4156…

The gut microbiome signature from different diets in >20,000 individuals. Red meat intake correlated with reduced cardiometabolic health; the opposite for plant-based foods or in omnivores with enriched plant-based intake nature.com/articles/s4156… Nature Microbiology Nicola Segata

In this study just published npj Journals Biofilms & Microbiomes, we collected dental swab samples from dogs to shed light on the hardly studied dog dental plaque microbiome (1/7)


Today at our group meeting, we welcomed Dr. Anastasios Tsaousis who shared with us knowledge and findings on #gutmicrobiome & BlastocystisCOST! Thank you, Anastasios! (the red bag: sweets from the UK) Here you can check out his team and amazing work: adtsaousis.com




Happy to share that our study on gut microbiome associations with colorectal cancer (CRC) is out in Nature Medicine! (doi.org/10.1038/s41591…).

In this study just published at the Journal of Clinical Periodontology - a collaboration between Segata Lab and PreBiomics - we evaluated the microbiome of dental implants using metagenomic sequencing onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jc…
