Phylotype-level 16S rRNA analysis reveals new bacterial indicators of health state in acute murine colitis
10 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Human inflammatory bowel disease and experimental colitis models in mice are associated with shifts in intestinal microbiota composition, but it is unclear at what taxonomic/phylogenetic level such microbiota dynamics can be indicative for health or disease. Here, we report that dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis is accompanied by major shifts in the composition and function of the intestinal microbiota...
