Hey that's interesting Gary. Back to those dandy Clostrida bacteria once again.
So the same bacteria creep up again... and these are also the same bacterial species that come back after fecal transplants for C-diff.
www.microbiomejournal.com/content/2/1/13Results:
"The original patients’ microbiota had low diversity, was dominated by members of Gammaproteobacteria and Bacilli, and had low numbers of Clostridia and Bacteroidia. At the genus level, fecal samples of CDI patients were rich in members of the Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, and Enterobacter genera. In comparison, the donor community was dominated by Clostridia and had significantly higher diversity and evenness. The patients’ distal gut communities were completely transformed within 3 days following fecal transplantation, and these communities remained stable in each patient for at least 4 months. Despite compositional differences among recipients’ pre-treatment gut microbiota, the transplanted gut communities were highly similar among recipients post-transplantation, were indistinguishable from that of the donor, and were rich in members of
Blautia, Coprococcus, and Faecalibacterium. In each case, the gut microbiota restoration led to a complete patient recovery and symptom alleviation.
So in IBD, Allergy, C-diff and a few other cases these clostridia are just taking a $hit kicking. This should also benefit Ulcerative Colitis patients as well I would think. Might be worth someone trying if the downstream effect is an increase in these bacteria.
