Adaptive evolution within the gut microbiome of individual people

2017-10-24

Abstract excerpt

Individual bacterial lineages stably persist for years in the human gut microbiome 1–3 . However, the potential of these lineages to adapt during colonization of healthy people is not well understood 2,4 . Here, we assess evolution within individual microbiomes by sequencing the genomes of 602 Bacteroides fragilis isolates cultured from 12 healthy subjects. We find that B. fragilis within-subject populations c...
