High throughput sequencing reveals distinct microbial populations within the mucosal and luminal niches in healthy individuals
27 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The intestinal microbiota is associated with human health and diseases. The luminal microbiota (LM) and the mucosal-associated microbiota (MAM) are 2 distinct ecosystems with different metabolic and immunological functions. AIM: To characterize the intestinal LM and MAM in humans using high throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. METHODS: Fresh fecal samples and distal colonic mucosal biopsies...
