Phage-Microbiome Consortium: Interplay and Modulation in Human Health and Disease

The ISM is pleased to announce the launch of The Phage-Microbiome Consortium.

Aim of the Consortium

The aim of this project is to set up a consortium of experts in the field of bacteriophages and the human microbiome, to collectively explore the potential of phages in shaping and modulating the microbiome in the context of human health and disease. The consortium will work in teams to push the boundaries of current knowledge, through collaborative research and knowledge exchange.


Objectives

1. Understand the Phage-Microbiota Interaction:
The consortium will carry out integrated studies to enhance the understanding of phage-bacteria dynamics and the role of phages in maintaining microbial diversity and stability.

2. Explore the Potential of Phage Therapy:
Teams will investigate the potential of phages as alternative therapeutic agents for various diseases, focusing particularly on conditions associated with microbiome dysbiosis and antibiotic resistance.

3. Identify Phage Biomarkers:
The consortium will work to identify specific changes in phage populations associated with different health conditions, thus facilitating disease prediction, diagnosis, and treatment.

4. Promote Phage Engineering:
With advancements in genetic engineering, the consortium will explore possibilities to create engineered phages with enhanced efficiency, broader spectrums, and other desirable properties.

5. Establish Regulatory and Safety Guidelines:
Recognizing the lack of robust regulatory guidelines for phage therapy, the consortium will also work towards proposing safe and effective guidelines.


What is expected?

The expected outcome of this project is to offer new insights into the complex interplay between phages and the human microbiome and to pave the way for innovative, effective, and personalized phage therapies. By bridging the expertise gap, we aim to leverage the immense potential of phages in treating diseases and promoting human health.

Marine Heatwaves and Microbiome in the Mediterranean Sea: Insights From Non Model Organism Manila Clam

Dr. Martino

Dr. Maria Elena Martino, University of Padova, Italy, will present her latest research during Targeting Microbiota 2023 on October 17-19 in a talk titled "Marine Heatwaves and Microbiome in the Mediterranean Sea:  Insights From Non Model Organism Manila Clam".

Extreme climatic events like Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) are becoming more intense and frequent and are severely threatening ecosystems’ health. Specifically, marine ecosystems are facing an increase in the prevalence of pathogenic microbes, causing significant shifts in the ecology and evolution of animal-microbiome symbiosis in marine environments. However, how extreme climate events shape the evolution and the adaptation of marine hosts and their microbiomes is still poorly understood.

Here, Dr. Martino and her team characterized the effect of heat waves on the microbiome of Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum, one of the most widely farmed clam species worldwide, and investigated the ultimate effect on host health.

Gut microbiota and prebiotics in Parkinson's disease: The RESISTA-PD Trial

Andreas SchwiertzProf. Andreas Schwiertz, Institute of Microecology, Germany will present his latest research during Targeting Microbiota 2023 on October 17-19 in a talk titled "Gut microbiota and prebiotics in Parkinson's disease: The RESISTA-PD Trial".

The composition of the gut microbiome is linked to multiple diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Bacteria producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and fecal SCFA concentrations are reduced in PD. SCFAs exert various beneficial functions in humans. In the interventional, monocentric, open-label clinical trial RESISTA-PD Prof. Schwiertz and his colleagues aimed at altering fecal SCFAs by an 8-week prebiotic intervention with resistant starch (RS).

In the PD + RS group, fecal butyrate concentrations increased significantly, and fecal calprotectin concentrations dropped significantly.  Clinically, Prof. Schwiertz and his team observed a reduction in non-motor symptom load in the PD+RS group.


About Prof. Prof. Schwiertz

Dr. Andreas Schwiertz is a microbiologist and molecular biologist. He trained at the Carl von Ossietzky University, Oldenburg (GER), the University College Cork (IRL) and Sate University of St. Petersburg (RUS).

Microbiota, Enteric Nervous and Immune Systems: Barrier Defenses against Foodborne Pathogens Carriage in Poultry

Valentina Caputi Targeting Microbiota 2023Dr. Valentina Caputi, United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, USA, will join Targeting Microbiota 2023 on October 17-19 to present her latest research "Microbiota, Enteric Nervous and Immune Systems: Barrier Defenses against Foodborne Pathogens Carriage in Poultry".

The gastrointestinal tract is the largest body surface in contact with commensal microorganisms (or microbiota) and with pathogens, therefore the intestinal wall possesses a sophisticated system of barriers that protects the host from the translocation of pathogens, their molecular profiles, or environmental toxins in extra-intestinal tissues. The intestinal epithelium provides the first barrier defense against bacterial- or toxins translocation and its function is finely modulated by the immune system. Several studies have explored avian intestinal epithelial barrier alterations following Salmonella or Campylobacter infection. Submucosa and smooth muscle layers are located underneath the intestinal epithelium. These tissues are densely innervated by the enteric nervous system (ENS), a complex network of neurons and glial cells capable of functioning independently from the brain. The ENS is the principal coordinator of gut motility, peristalsis, nutrient absorption, and fluid secretion.

However, recent studies have shown that enteric neuronal populations are responsible for producing proinflammatory cytokines, thus stimulating the intestinal immune cells to release antimicrobial peptides against Salmonella infection in mammals. These results provide evidence of solid neuroimmune interactions in the gut that strengthen the canonical epithelial barrier against pathogenic infections such as Salmonella. The role of enteric neuroimmune interactions in chicken broilers affected by Salmonella or other foodborne pathogens has not been explored yet, and this research will provide a novel approach to understanding foodborne pathogens infection in poultry and ultimately formulate antibiotic alternatives aimed at preserving the integrity and function of the intestinal neuroimmune barriers.

Evaluation of Transitional Changes Shaping the Infants’ Gut Microbiota in Early Life: The CI.EMME Study

Prof. Di PilatoProf. Vincenzo Di Pilato from the University of Genoa, Italy will join Targeting Microbiota 2023 on October 17-19 to present his latest research "Evaluation of Transitional Changes Shaping the Infants' Gut Microbiota in Early Life: The CI.EMME Study".

The gut microbiota (GM) consists in a densely populated ecosystem that, from birth onwards, colonizes the intestinal tract through a highly dynamic processes, fundamental for health later in life. Indeed, disturbance of the GM in early life may results in lifelong consequences, and certain microbial features can be associated with disease states that are manifested at later stages, including asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, and metabolic disorders.

In the context of the CI.EMME study, Prof. Di Pilato and his team, longitudinally investigated the transitional changes of GM in a cohort of infants, expanding knowledge about the microbiota composition and maturation paths in early life.

Microbiome Engineering: Reprograming microbes to rewire host-microbiome interactions

Matthew ChangDr. Matthew Chang from the National University of Singapore, Singapore will join the Targeting Microbiota 2023 congress and will talk about "Microbiome Engineering: Reprograming microbes to rewire host-microbiome interactions".

The wealth of knowledge on the human microbiota composition and its roles in health and disease has recently spurred the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Moreover, with an array of genetic tools that are readily available, programmable genetic circuits can be designed, genomes can be edited and rewritten, and cells can be reprogrammed to foster novel microbiota-based interventions.

In this talk, Dr. Chang's recent work on engineering gut-resident microbes as versatile platforms equipped with clinically relevant functionalities will be presented. A particular emphasis will be placed on his team's efforts to transform gut microbes into live biotherapeutics with prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy against pathogenic infections and chronic metabolic diseases.

This work provides a strong foundation for engineering microbes to modulate host-microbiome interactions and supports the use of live biotherapeutics as a viable strategy for clinical intervention.


About Dr. Chang

Matthew Chang is Director of the National Centre for Engineering Biology, Singapore Consortium for Synthetic Biology, Wilmar-NUS Corporate Laboratory, and NUS Synthetic Biology for Clinical and Technological Innovation, and Dean’s Chair in Medicine and Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Synthetic Biology at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore. His research focuses on studying the engineering of biology to develop autonomous, programmable cells for biomedical and biomanufacturing applications. He co-founded the Global Biofoundry Alliance and the Asian Synthetic Biology Association and serves as Co-Chair of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Synthetic Biology.

Environmental Drivers of Avian Enteric Neuroendocrine Plasticity in the Context of Foodborne Pathogen Carriage

Joshua Lyte 1Dr. Joshua Lyte, United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, USA, will join the Targeting Microbiota 2023 congress to talk about: "Environmental Drivers of Avian Enteric Neuroendocrine Plasticity in the Context of Foodborne Pathogen Carriage".

Environmental pressures represent an omnipresent threat across the diverse phases of poultry production in the 21st century. Research directed at mitigating the deleterious effects of environmental stress on the avian gastrointestinal tract necessitates the identification of mechanistic pathways that sit at the nexus of host and microbiota.

The research approach that Dr. Lyte and his team employed has its basis in common mechanistic pathways that are shared among diverse forms of environmental stressors. Those pathways principally involve the host’s neuroendocrine response to stress as well as the response of the gut microbiota whose composition and function are critical to gut homeostasis and avian well-being. 

Microbial endocrinology, which is the study of the intersection of two seemingly disparate fields, neuroendocrine physiology and microbiology, and the bi-directional communication between both, that is at the core of our approach to devising new strategies to combat environmental stressors in food production animals. The remarkable integration of the bird’s neuroendocrine physiology and its microbiota is due to the evolutionary-based fact that each shares a range of neurochemicals, principally those related to the stress response, that permit bi-directional communication between the two that ultimately influences host gut function.

This talk will focus on the avian gut as the anatomical region where the host and microbiota interact and represents the area that can most easily be leveraged to deal with environmental stressors. As will be discussed, the design of new antibiotic alternative strategies that seek to manage the intersection of host neuroendocrine physiology and microbiota is one of the most promising avenues for dealing with the negative effects of environmental stress which may drive avian susceptibility to foodborne pathogen carriage.

Domestic Cleaning and Human Microbiome - Is There a Link?

Markus Egert updated 2023Prof. Markus Egert from Furtwangen University and active member of the ISM scientific committee, will chair a session on "Environment, Lifestyle & Microbiota: A "One Health" Approach" during Targeting Microbiota 2023.

 In industrialized countries, people spend up to 90% of their lifetime indoors. However, potential links between the indoor microbiome, the microbiome of daily used objects, the human microbiome and health and well-being are only poorly understood.

Prof. Egert will present a talk that will summarize current knowledge about how domestic cleaning and hygiene measures, predominantly aiming at the prevention of infectious diseases, might influence and shape the human microbiome and its effects on human health. His talk will conclude with suggestions on what "microbiome-friendly" household hygiene could look like. 

Prof. Egert's talk will be titled: "Domestic Cleaning and Human Microbiome - Is There a Link?"


About Prof. Egert

Markus Egert is professor for Microbiology and Hygiene at Furtwangen University of Applied Sciences (Black Forest, Germany). His work aims at a deeper understanding of the structural and functional interactions of microbial communities with humans.  He was one of the first researchers to apply the so-called RNA-based stable isotope probing technique (RNA-SIP) to intestinal ecosystem in order to identify prebiotics-degrading bacteria. In addition, he is known for his pioneering work on the microbiome of objects of daily use, such as kitchen sponges, spectacles and washing machines, and the hygienic relevance that goes with it.

Microbiota and Interactions with Gut and the Enteric Nervous System

Karl Herbert SchäferProf. Karl-Herbert Schäfer from Kaiserlautern University of Applied Sciences, Germany will join the Targeting Microbiota 2023 congress to talk about: "Microbiota and Interactions with Gut and the Enteric Nervous System".

The gut contains billions of bacteria, that have long been neglected, and which have been seen, at best, as potential trouble makers in cases of diseases. During the last decades, the view of the enteric microbiome changed a lot. It is known now that it is influencing the quality of the gut barrier, producing legions of metabolites that influence both gut and enteric nervous system, changing i.e. gut motility or the inflammatory status of the gut wall.

Bacterial lipopolysaccharides might immediately impact i.e. the proliferation of neural stem cells within the ENS, or influence their differentiation. Bacteria can produce neurotransmitters such as GABA and serotonin, along with short chain fatty acids (SCFA) such as butyrate. Extracellular vesicles, produced by the bacteria, can carry this molecules along the mucosal barrier and might influence directly the activity of the ENS and thus the whole gut. Moreover, bacteria can produce Amyloid-like Protein Fibrils (ALFs) such as curli, which might initiate pathological processes in neurodegenerative diseases.

The impact of individual bacterial strains or LPS as a major molecule provided by gram negative bacteria upon gut and ENS has been investigated by Prof. Schäfer and his colleagues using primary cultures of the isolated myenteric plexus, analysing its growth or electrical responses after “bacterial” stimulation. Whole gut segments have been used in organ bath approaches to investigate alterations of gut motility when being perfused with bacteria or bacterial supernatants.

Engineered Escherichia Coli for the in Situ Secretion of Therapeutic Nanobodies in the Gut

Camie LesserDr. Cammie Lesser from Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, will join Targeting Microbiota 2023 on October 17-19 to present her latest research "Engineered Escherichia Coli for the in Situ Secretion of Therapeutic Nanobodies in the Gut".

Dr. Lesser will elaborate on the development of PROT3EcT, a platform of commensal and probiotic E. coli outfitted with a programmable secretion system. PROT3EcT can secrete functional single-domain antibodies (nanobodies), high-specificity therapeutics, into its surroundings. TNF-PROT3EcT, a variant that secretes TNF-alpha neutralizing nanobodies is as efficacious as systematically administered anti-TNF-alpha neutralizing monoclonal antibodies in inhibiting the development of colitis in a preclinical mouse model of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. 


About Dr. Lesser

Dr. Lesser is a physician-scientist whose lab is interested in deciphering the ways that bacterial pathogens manipulate host cells to promote their own survival and dissemination. She has a long-standing interest in studying the pathogenesis of Shigella flexneri, focusing on its type III secretion system, a complex nanomachine that it uses to inject over 30 different proteins into human host cells. Projects in her lab focus on understanding how type III secreted proteins are defined as substrates, deciphering how they act to manipulate eukaryotic host cell processes, and most recently in engineering these secretion systems to develop engineered E. coli as a therapeutic protein delivery platform.
