Beyond the commonly considered factor of diet, small-molecule drugs have been identified as effectors of microbiota composition. Recently, two studies (Grießhammer et al. and Kumar et al.) reported that non-antibiotics, like antibiotics, could disrupt gut microbial homeostasis, reducing colonization resistance and facilitating pathogen invasion. These findings hold profound implications for our understanding of drug–host–microbiome interactions.

Metalog is a repository of manually annotated metadata (or contextual data) for metagenomic sequencing data from across the globe.

Noteworthy — It's allergy season. To assuage your discomfort, your physician prescribes a long-term treatment with an antihistamine. Feeling much better, you go out to enjoy some of your favorite stre...

Non-antibiotic drugs from a wide range of therapeutic classes can alter the ability of gut commensals to resist invasion by enteropathogens, a previously underappreciated side effect of such drugs.

Some human-targeted drugs can alter gut microbes, creating a favorable environment for pathogens like Salmonella to thrive.

Nature Communications - Acute systemic immune activation may affect gut-luminal colonisation dynamics. Here, the authors show that LPS exposure in mice elevates gut-luminal oxygen species levels,...

Nature - Some non-antibiotic drugs have been associated with changes in gut microbiome composition, but the extent of this phenomenon is unknown. Athanasios Typas and colleagues screened more than...

Background Lifestyle plays an important role in shaping the gut microbiome. However, its contributions to the oral microbiome remain less clear, due to the confounding effects of geography and methodo...
