Collection media and delayed freezing effects on microbial composition of human stool
29 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Different bacteria in stool have markedly varied growth and survival when stored at ambient temperature. It is paramount to develop optimal biostabilization of stool samples during collection and assess long-term storage for clinical specimens and epidemiological microbiome studies. We evaluated the effect of collection media and delayed freezing up to 7 days on microbial composition. Ten participants...
