The Scientific Committee of Targeting Microbiota 2019 Congress invited Dr. Matteo Serino from Inserm and Digestive Health Research Institute, France.
Dr. Serino will give a presentation entitled "Metabolic and Metagenomic Consequences of E. coli Infections".
Summary of Presentation: A dietary fat enrichment is among the strongest factors impacting on gut microbiota on a both structural and functional level, as well known as inducer of metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and hepatopathology. Interestingly, an alimentary switch towards the high-fat content has been also shown capable of favouring the colonisation of the intestine by enterobacteria. Among the latters are pro-inflammatory and/or genotoxic E. coli strains. The metabolic consequences of the infections by these bacteria in mice will be discussed in relation to a lean vs. an obese/diabetic host, together with changes in the gut microbiota and microbiome.
