Temperature Gradient Gel Electrophoresis of Fecal 16S rRNA Reveals Active <i>Escherichia coli</i> in the Microbiota of Patients with Ulcerative Colitis
1 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies of the endogenous microbiota in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) have not taken bacterial activity into account, yet bacteria with high transcriptional activity might have a more important pathophysiological role than inactive bacteria. We therefore analyzed the biodiversity of active bacteria in the fecal microbiota of UC patients, in comparison with that of healthy subjects. Feces were...
