Microbial Composition of Human Appendices from Patients following Appendectomy

16 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: The human appendix has historically been considered a vestige of evolutionary development with an unknown function. While limited data are available on the microbial composition of the appendix, it has been postulated that this organ could serve as a microbial reservoir for repopulating the gastrointestinal tract in times of necessity. We aimed to explore the microbial composition of the human...
