Filter by:The goal of this study is to assess if oral vancomycin can restore the normal bile acid metabolism of people with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Study participants will provide blood and stool samples in order to evaluate the bile acid metabolism before a short course of vancomycin and then again after to assess for change. The investigators will also assess the blood and stool of healthy people, and people with IBD (without PSC) as a control group.
This is a 4 ½ week study with 20 healthy subjects (including a 2 week run-in ) . Subjects will be taking vegetable/fruit juice supplementation for 3 days. Blood, urine and stool samples will be collected at baseline, day 4 and day 17. The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of fruit/vegetable supplementation on colonic flora.
This study plans to learn more about immune responses in intestinal (gut) tissue in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This study will determine whether change in the composition of gut bacteria in HIV infected individuals is related to a high prevalence of chronic gut inflammation and metabolic disease. The investigators will also investigate immune-modulatory properties of specific bacteria that correlate with disease both by characterizing which functional genes are selected for in their genomes and by stimulating immune cells isolated from blood and gut tissue with bacterial isolates. This work will establish whether gain/loss of bacterial drivers/suppressors of information in the gut contributes to metabolic disease in HIV-infected individuals.
This is a proposal for a nested case‐control study within an ongoing rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity clinical trial Karachi, Pakistan. The primary study aim is to compare the fecal microbiota composition and diversity of infants who do (control) and do not (case) demonstrate immune seroconversion to rotavirus vaccination. The infants will be matched for vaccination dose, age and breast‐feeding practices.
Prevalence Study evaluating the acquisition of carriage of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDRGNB) in the gut flora in volunteers of French Armed Forces staying from 4 to 6 months outside France.
The purpose of this study is to identify the human intestinal microbiota (microbes that live inside and on human bodies) in healthy adults over a 6-month period and to study the effect of an antibiotic on the intestinal microbiota. Participants will include up to 60 healthy adult subjects, ages 18-45 years, from the Baltimore and University of Maryland communities. Study procedures will include providing multiple stool samples throughout the study. Participants will take a licensed antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin, for 3 days. Participants may be involved in study related procedures for up to 7 months.
