Breastfeeding associated microbiota in human milk following supplementation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus acidophilus La-5 and Bifidobacterium animalis subspecies lactis Bb-12
Simpson, Melanie Rae; Avershina, Ekaterina; Storrø, Ola; Johnsen, Roar; Rudi, Knut; Øien, Torbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Breastfeeding is one of the major factors affecting the early development of the infant gut microbiota, and weaning is associated with a shift in the gut microbiota toward a more adult composition. Through breastfeeding, ... -
The commensal infant gut meta-mobilome as a potential reservoir for persistent multidrug resistance integrons
Ravi, Anuradha; Avershina, Ekaterina; Foley, Steven L.; Ludvigsen, Jane; Storrø, Ola; Øien, Torbjørn; Johnsen, Roar; McCartney, Anne; L'Abee-Lund, Trine Marie; Rudi, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Despite the accumulating knowledge on the development and establishment of the gut microbiota, its role as a reservoir for multidrug resistance is not well understood. This study investigated the prevalence and persistence ... -
Culture dependent and independent analyses suggest a low level of sharing of endospore-forming species between mothers and their children
Avershina, Ekaterina; Larsen, Marte Gro; Aspholm, Marina Elisabeth; Lindbäck, Toril; Storrø, Ola; Øien, Torbjørn; Johnsen, Roar; Rudi, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Spore forming bacteria comprise a large part of the human gut microbiota. However, study of the endospores in gut microbiota is limited due to difficulties of culturing and numerous unknown germination factors. In this ... -
Diversity of vaginal microbiota increases by the time of labor onset
Avershina, Ekaterina; Slangsvold, Silje; Simpson, Melanie Rae; Storrø, Ola; Johnsen, Roar; Øien, Torbjørn; Rudi, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Vaginal microbiota is an important early source of bacterial colonization for newborns. However, only a few small studies have investigated the composition of vaginal microbiota during labor. In this work, we analyzed ... -
Early gut fungal and bacterial microbiota and childhood growth
Schei, Kasper; Simpson, Melanie Rae; Avershina, Ekaterina; Rudi, Knut; Øien, Torbjørn; Juliusson, Petur Benedikt; Underhill, David; Salamati, Saideh; Ødegård, Rønnaug (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction: Childhood growth is a sensitive marker of health. Animal studies show increased height and weight velocity in the presence of fungal as well as antibiotic supplement in feed. Human studies on early gut ... -
Early gut mycobiota and mother-offspring transfer 2017 Aug 24;5(1):107. doi: 10.1186/s40168-017-0319-x.
Schei, Kasper; Avershina, Ekaterina; Øien, Torbjørn; Rudi, Knut; Follestad, Turid; Salamati, Saideh; Ødegård, Rønnaug (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background The fungi in the gastrointestinal tract, the gut mycobiota, are now recognised as a significant part of the gut microbiota, and they may be important to human health. In contrast to the adult gut mycobiota, the ... -
Low maternal microbiota sharing across gut, breast milk and vagina, as revealed by 16s rRNA gene and reduced metagenomic sequencing
Avershina, Ekaterina; Angell, Inga Leena; Simpson, Melanie Rae; Storrø, Ola; Øien, Torbjørn; Johnsen, Roar; Rudi, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The maternal microbiota plays an important role in infant gut colonization. In this work we have investigated which bacterial species are shared across the breast milk, vaginal and stool microbiotas of 109 women shortly ... -
Major faecal microbiota shifts in composition and diversity with age in a geographically restricted cohort of mothers and their children
Avershina, Ekaterina; Storrø, Ola; Øien, Torbjørn; Johnsen, Roar; Pope, Phil; Rudi, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Despite the importance, the diversity of the human infant gut microbiota still remains poorly characterized at the regional scale. Here, we investigated the faecal microbiota diversity in a large 16S rRNA gene data set ...
