Biochemical and Anthropometric Outcomes in Paediatric Patients with Heterozygou...
Peres, M; Moreira-Rosário, A; Padeira, G; Gaspar Silva, P; Correia, C; Nunes, A; Garcia, E; Faria, A; Teixeira, D; Calhau, C; Pereira-da-Silva, LThe COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns affected the lifestyles of children and adolescents, leading to an increase in childhood obesity. Paediatric patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) may be more susceptible to lockdown effects due to their increased cardiovascular risk. However, data are lacking. We investigated the effect of lockdowns on the metabolic profile of paediatric patients with FH. Blood lipids...
The impact of Hafnia alvei HA4597™ on weight loss and glycaemic control after b...
Ismael, S; Vaz, C; Durao, C; Silvestre, MP; Calhau, C; Teixeira, D; Marques, CBackground Subjects with obesity exhibit changes in gut microbiota composition and function (i.e. dysbiosis) that contribute to metabolic dysfunction, including appetite impairment. Although bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity with a great impact on weight loss, some subjects show weight regain due to increased energy intake after the surgery. This surgery involves gut microbiota changes tha...
Influence of Human Milk on Very Preterms' Gut Microbiota and Alkaline Phosphata...
Morais, J; Marques, C; Faria, A; Teixeira, D; Barreiros-Mota, I; Durão, C; Araújo, J; Ismael, S; Brito, S; Cardoso, M; Macedo, I; Pereira, E; Tomé, TThe FEEDMI Study (NCT03663556) evaluated the influence of infant feeding (mother's own milk (MOM), donor human milk (DHM) and formula) on the fecal microbiota composition and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in extremely and very preterm infants (≤32 gestational weeks). In this observational study, preterm infants were recruited within the first 24 h after birth. Meconium and fecal samples were collected at ...
A Pilot Study on the Metabolic Impact of Mediterranean Diet in Type 2 Diabetes:...
Ismael, S; Silvestre, MP; Vasques, M; Araújo, JR; Morais, J; Duarte, MI; Pestana, D; Faria, A; Pereira-Leal, JB; Vaz, J; Ribeiro, P; Teixeira, DThe Mediterranean diet (MD) has been recommended for type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment. The impact of diet in shaping the gut microbiota is well known, particularly for MD. However, the link between MD and diabetes outcome improvement is not completely clear. This study aims to evaluate the role of microbiota modulation by a nonpharmacological intervention in patients with T2D. In this 12-week single-arm pilot st...

Gut Microbiota Diversity and C-Reactive Protein Are Predictors of Disease Sever...
Moreira-Rosário, A; Marques, C; Pinheiro, H; Araújo, JR; Ribeiro, P; Rocha, R; Mota, I; Pestana, D; Ribeiro, R; Pereira, A; Sousa, MJ; Pereira-Leal, JThe risk factors for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity are still poorly understood. Considering the pivotal role of the gut microbiota on host immune and inflammatory functions, we investigated the association between changes in the gut microbiota composition and the clinical severity of COVID-19. We conducted a multicenter cross-sectional study prospectively enrolling 115 COVID-19 patients categoriz...

Vaccines in Congenital Toxoplasmosis: Advances and Perspectives
Barros, M; Teixeira, D; Vilanova, M; Correia, A; Teixeira, N; Borges, MCongenital toxoplasmosis has a high impact on human disease worldwide, inducing serious consequences from fetus to adulthood. Despite this, there are currently no human vaccines available to prevent this infection. Most vaccination studies against Toxoplasma gondii infection used animal models in which the infection was established by exogenous inoculation. Here, we review recent research on potential T. gondii...
Extremely preterm neonates have more Lactobacillus in meconium than very preter...
Morais, J; Marques, C; Teixeira, D; Durão, C; Faria, A; Brito, S; Cardoso, M; Macedo, I; Pereira, E; Tomé, T; Calhau, CGrowing evidence suggests that maternal microbiota can influence the neonates’ gut colonization. However, the mechanisms of vertical bacterial transmission remain poorly defined. We believed that the first colonizers of the newborn come from the mother’s gut and vagina during pregnancy and that this is independent of the mode of delivery. We conducted an observational longitudinal study to evaluate the link bet...
Production of Antagonistic Compounds by Bacillus sp. with Antifungal Activity a...
Silva, Mara; Rosado, T; Gonzalez-Pérez, M; Gobbo, D; Teixeira, D; Candeias, A; Caldeira, A TeresaAbstract: In recent years, the population has become acutely aware of the need to conserve the world’s resources. The study of new compounds produced by natural means is important in the search for alternative green solutions that act against biodeteriogenic fungi, which promote biodeterioration of built cultural heritage sites. The present paper reports new solutions, derived from Bacillus sp. CCLBH 1053 cultu...
