3 November 2022by Barış Özdinç0

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurodegenerative disease targeting the central nervous system with a prevalence of around 2.8 million people globally. The etiopathogenesis of MS is multifactorial and involves environmental factors. Amongst the environmental factors, the gut microbiota is a key player modulating MS. Dietary habits drive the gut microbiome. Thus, dietary shifts change...

Customer Success StoriesUncategorisedModeling and Microbiome Analyses Reveal Unexpected Outcomes of Antimicrobial Therapy in Polymicrobial Cystic Fibrosis

5 October 2022by Barış Özdinç0

Antibiotic use is widespread and a key weapon against bacterial infections. However, their behavior against complex microbial communities is still unknown, as they are typically developed against distinct, individual pathogens. Understanding the effect of specific antibiotics on microbial communities is important for the effective treatment of polymicrobial infections, such as those found in cystic fibrosis...

5 October 2022by Barış Özdinç0

Nasal swabs and saliva are conventional methods for detection of SARS-CoV-2, but the virus is also present in feces. Therefore, fecal material in wastewater samples could be used to track community dynamics of the virus. To do that, Brumfield et al. (2022) collected wastewater samples from manholes and then processed them for microbial genome sequencing...
