Natalia Shulzhenko, an associate professor of biomedical sciences at the Oregon State University (OSU) and her associates have employed a data-driven, systems-biology approach called Transkingdom network analysis to study host-microbe interactions under a western diet, according to a January 05 2021 report by News 18 television station in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. They use operational taxonomic units, or OTUs to categorize bacteria based on gene sequence similarity, says the report.

The OSU team studied Lactobacillus Johnsonii, Lactobacillus Gasseri, Romboutsia Ilealis and Ruminococcus Gnavus, for example, and their impact on the western diet. The team compared multiple studies of both humans and mice and the abundance of these four bacteria on our body mass index (BMI). With this analysis, R. Ilealis to be present in more than 80 per cent of obese patients, according to the News 18 report.
