Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human gut microbiome composition is influenced by genetics, diet and environmental factors. We investigated the microbial composition in several gastrointestinal (GI) compartments to evaluate the impact of genetics, delivery mode, diet, household sharing and aging on microbial similarity in monozygotic and dizygotic twins. METHODS: Fecal, biopsy and saliva samples were obtained from total 108 twins....
