  • Methods and compositions for improving gut microbiota population
    Patent number: 10285984
    Abstract: A method and a composition for improving gut micro biota structure, selectively increase a first gut microbiota population while simultaneously decrease a second gut micro biota population in a subject. The first gut micro biota population includes a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacterium and the second gut microbiota population includes an endotoxin-producing bacterium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 4, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2019
    Assignee: Shanghai Jiao Tong University

  • Methods for detecting therapeutic effects of anti-cancer drugs by monitoring changes in gut flora
    Patent number: 8097417
    Abstract: Non-invasive methods for monitoring the effect of an agent for treating colorectal cancer, comprising (1) collecting fecal samples from healthy subjects, subjects having precancerous lesions, and subject having precancerous lesions and being treated with an anti-cancer agent; (2) isolating total microbial genomic DNA from the fecal samples to provide total microbial genomic DNA; (3) comparing the total microbial genomic DNA using fingerprint spectrum analysis; (4) identifying key fingerprint bands correlated with the effect of the anti-cancer agent; (5) identifying key microorganisms associated with the key fingerprint bands; (6) designing microbial sequence-specific primers and probes; and (7) determining the quantitative differences of the key microorganisms in fecal samples to identify an indicator microorganism for monitoring the effect of the anti-cancer agent.
