Temporal Bacterial Community Dynamics Vary Among Ulcerative Colitis Patients After Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
S. Angelberger,Walter Reinisch,Athanasios Makristathis,Cornelia Lichtenberger,Clemens Dejaco,Pavol Papay,Gottfried Novacek,Michael Trauner,Alexander Loy,David Berry +9 more
TL;DR: This study highlights the value of characterizing temporally resolved microbiota dynamics for a better understanding of FMT efficacy and provides potentially useful diagnostic indicators for monitoring FMT success in the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Detection of Helicobacter pylori in Stool Specimens by PCR and Antigen Enzyme Immunoassay
Athanasios Makristathis,Eva Pasching,Kurt Schutze,Margit Wimmer,Manfred Rotter,Alexander M. Hirschl +5 more
TL;DR: PCR with stool specimens and a novel antigen enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for H. pylori detection in feces were evaluated as diagnostic tools and in follow-up with samples from 63 infected and 37 noninfected persons.

Novel Real-Time PCR Assay for Detection of Helicobacter pylori Infection and Simultaneous Clarithromycin Susceptibility Testing of Stool and Biopsy Specimens
Claudia Schabereiter-Gurtner,Alexander M. Hirschl,Brigitte Dragosics,Peter Hufnagl,Sonja Puz,Zsuzsanna Kovach,Manfred Rotter,Athanasios Makristathis +7 more
TL;DR: The assay presented provides a highly accurate noninvasive method to detect H. pylori infection in stool and at the same time allows for culture-independent clarithromycin susceptibility testing.

High detection rate of Trichomonas vaginalis in benign hyperplastic prostatic tissue.
Dieter Mitteregger,Stephan W. Aberle,Athanasios Makristathis,Julia Walochnik,Wolfgang Brozek,Michael Marberger,Gero Kramer +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of prostate tissue from patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia of a nonselected, elderly study population from Austria found T. vaginalis DNA correlated significantly with elevated peripheral blood monocytic cell counts, appearing along with protozoan infections.
