Objective. To characterize gut microbiota composition in patients with different body weight. Materials and Methods. A total of 92 patients (mean age: 52.8 years) with different body mass index (BMI), with or without abdominal obesity were enrolled in the study. A metagenomic analysis as an assessment of 16S rRNA gene diversity in a total DNA sample was performed according to 16S Metagenomic Sequencing Library Preparation protocol. Taxonomic composition of the samples was evaluated using 16S rRNA gene sequences database Greengenes v.

To assess potential role of opportunistic microorganisms in the etiology of chronic endometritis by comparison of microbiota of upper and lower genital tract in women of reproductive age with different histopathologic findings of chronic endometritis and endometrial polyps. Materials and Methods. A total of 164 women of reproductive age were enrolled in this study and assigned to four groups by histopathologic changes in endometrium: I — complete set of chronic endometritis findings (n=38); II — partial set of chronic endometritis findings (n=92); III — endometrial polyps (n=15); IV — control group (n=19).

This article presents current view about the mechanisms of human gut microbiota influence on chronic systemic inflammation. Over the last years, evidence of close relationship between different medical conditions and gut microbiota status has been …

Objective. To explore potential of anti-Pseudomonas vaccine for the prophylaxis and treatment of infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with severe burn trauma.
