Abstract: Disclosed herein are therapeutic compositions containing non-pathogenic, germination-competent bacterial spores, for the prevention, control, and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, disorders and conditions and for general nutritional health.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions, methods, strategies, kits, and articles of manufacture that are useful, inter alia, in the treatment or prevention of diseases, disorders, or conditions that may be associated with inflammation, infection, allergy, immune dysfunction, or dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiome, such as graft versus host disease (GVHD). In some aspects, the invention provides a synergistic combination of prebiotics that are synthetic or derived from human milk with a probiotic strain of bacterium, such as a strain capable of internalizing and consuming the prebiotic, e.g., Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis.

In some aspects, the invention provides a synergistic combination of a prebiotics, e.g., a mixture of human milk oligosaccharides, and a probiotic strain, such as a strain capable of internalizing and consuming the rebiotics, e.g., B. longum subsp. infantis.

Abstract: Compositions and methods of treating a gastrointestinal dysbiosis using a limited number of defined bacterial species are provided.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for use in the treatment and prevention of cholestatic diseases.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for increasing the safety and effectiveness of a bacteriotherapy. In some aspects, a mixture of prebiotics, e.g., human milk oligosaccharides, are administered to a subject who has or will undergo a bacteriotherapy. In certain aspects, the mixture of prebiotics is administered in combination with a probiotic capable of internalizing and/or consuming the prebiotics. Also provided are methods for preparing or identifying strains of bacteria suitable for a bacteriotherapy, such as by incubating a mixture of bacteria obtained from stool in the presence of one or more of agents, e.g., human milk oligosaccharides, capable of promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing silica microspheres includes the steps of mixing acid and water to form a mixture; adding a silicon alkoxide to the mixture so as to precipitate microspheres; allowing the microspheres to settle into a sediment and removing a supernatant liquid; and immersing the microspheres in acid.

Abstract: Compositions for methods of preventing or reducing pathogenic bacterial growth, proliferation, and/or colonization are described containing one or more types of non-pathogenic bacteria to be introduced into the gastrointestinal tract and effectively compete with pathogenic bacteria for monomeric or polymeric carbohydrate nutrients, and/or amino acid nutrients, and/or vitamin nutrients.
