Enhanced metagenomic strategies for elucidating the complexities of gut microbiota: a review

Abstract excerpt

The human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is inhabited by a heterogeneous and dynamic microbial community that influences host health at multiple levels both metabolically, immunologically and via neurological pathways. Though the gut microbiota—overwhelmingly Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes —has essential functions in nutrient metabolism, immune regulation, and resistance to pathogens, its dysbiosis is likewise...
