Welcome to the new social media outlet for the Gorkiewicz lab at the @MedUniGraz. We study the use of FMT in IBD, the human mucosal interface & the gut microbiota, and tumor microbiology. Our science is part of the @MicrobesPlanet Cluster of Excellence! Expect more from us soon!

[Gorkiewicz Lab @GorkiewiczLab]

Last week, our lab was invited to talk at
@KeystoneSymp, where we talked about FMT & IBD and investigations on triggers towards healing. #gutmicrobiome #mucosalimmunity #fmt #ibd We would like to thank the organizers for a great meeting. Speaker:

[Patrick Schimmel @PatrickSchimmel]

Happy to join @KeystoneSymp for the first time for the Q8 Host-Microbe Co-Evolution in Human Health in a few weeks. Our lab @GorkiewiczLab will be talking about the effects of fecal microbiome transplantation at the mucosa. Lifting the veil beyond microbial engraftment.

Some part of key interactions with the host and metabolism are missing, to understand the microbiome in health and disease.

Ten species comprise half of the bacteriology literature, leaving most species unstudied | bioRxiv doi: https://t.co/P7FnZD0rb1

Interesting link to (also our) tumor microbiome work and mechanistics. @cellhostmicrobe

C. jejuni promotes CRC metastasis
New work discovers enriched presence of intratumor Campylobacter, whose production of genotoxin accelerates tumor metastasis, offering insight into the role bacteria play in metastasis

New @FWF_at CoE Microplanet Publication in Nature Microbiology: The study, led by @michiwagner4 from @cemess_vienna at @univienna, reveals that entacapone triggers iron starvation in the gut, promoting pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli. https://t.co/wKceIWcz9g ©Xiaowei Ge

New paper in @CellCellPress showing the faecal load is a major determinant of gut #microbiome variation and confounder for disease associations🧐. In other words, intestinal #transit time and stool #moisture are major confounders in microbiome research!

Really interesting study led by @liam_OMahony1 suggesting that tryptophan metabolites like indole-3-propionate (IPA), which are produced by the #microbiome, may reduce risk of severe and chronic outcomes to SARS-CoV-2 (#COVID19 ) infection.

Looking back on a great ÖGMBT annual meeting. Poster presentations by @MarijaDurdevic & @PatrickSchimmel were a success! Many thanks to the organisation! See you next year!

[Gorkiewicz Lab @GorkiewiczLab]

Our lab will be featured today at the 16th Annual ÖGMBT Meeting "Life Sciences – tackling the challenges of the 21st century". @ RESOWI, Graz. Come watch us (@GregorGorkiewi1) chair interactive sessions and come see our posters! #gutmicrobiota #fmt #ibd

[Jens Walter @JensWalter15]

Interested in the absolute quantification of bacterial strains in fecal samples? My group has used qPCR for more than 10 years with good success, and we now published a step-by-step protocol for the design of strain-specific qPCR assays in @MicrobiomeJ.
