Optimizing microbiome sequencing for small intestinal aspirates: validation of novel techniques through the REIMAGINE study

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The human small intestine plays a central role in the processes of digestion and nutrient absorption. However, characterizations of the human gut microbiome have largely relied on stool samples, and the associated methodologies are ill-suited for the viscosity and low microbial biomass of small intestine samples. As part of the REIMAGINE study to examine the specific roles of the small bowel...
