An initial genomic blueprint of the healthy human oesophageal microbiome

Abstract excerpt

Background. The oesophageal microbiome is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of oesophageal cancer. However, investigations using culture and molecular barcodes have provided only a low-resolution view of this important microbial community. We therefore explored the potential of culturomics and metagenomic binning to generate a catalogue of reference genomes from the healthy human oesophageal microbiome,...
