Hi-C Metagenomics in the ICU: Exploring Clinically Relevant Features of Gut Microbiome in Chronically Critically Ill Patients

Abstract excerpt

Gut microbiome in critically ill patients shows profound dysbiosis. The most vulnerable is the subgroup of chronically critically ill (CCI) patients – those suffering from long-term dependence on support systems in intensive care units. It is important to investigate their microbiome as a potential reservoir of opportunistic taxa causing co-infections and a morbidity factor. We explored dynamics of microbiome...
