Ecological Modeling from Time-Series Inference: Insight into Dynamics and Stability of Intestinal Microbiota

Abstract excerpt

The intestinal microbiota is a microbial ecosystem of crucial importance to human health. Understanding how the microbiota confers resistance against enteric pathogens and how antibiotics disrupt that resistance is key to the prevention and cure of intestinal infections. We present a novel method to infer microbial community ecology directly from time-resolved metagenomics. This method extends generalized...
