Rethinking gut microbiome residency and the Enterobacteriaceae in healthy human adults

Abstract excerpt

Longitudinal human gut microbiome datasets generated using community-level, sequence-based approaches often report a sub-set of long-lived "resident" taxa that rarely, if ever, are lost. This result contrasts with population-level turnover of resident clones on the order of months to years. We hypothesized that the disconnect between these results is due to a relative lack of simultaneous discrimination of the...
