Culture-Independent Evaluation of the Appendix and Rectum Microbiomes in Children with and without Appendicitis

23 Apr 2014

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The function of the appendix is largely unknown, but its microbiota likely contributes to function. Alterations in microbiota may contribute to appendicitis, but conventional culture studies have not yielded conclusive information. We conducted a pilot, culture-independent 16S rRNA-based microbiota study of paired appendix and rectal samples. METHODS: We collected appendix and rectal swabs from 21...
