Accurate Classification of the Gut Microbiota of Patients in Intensive Care Units During the Development of Sepsis and Septic Shock
2020-02-29
Abstract excerpt
The gut microbiota of intensive care unit (ICU) patients display extreme dysbiosis, which is associated with increased susceptibility to organ failure, sepsis and septic shock. However, this dysbiosis is hard to be characterized for each patient, owing to the highly dimensional complexity of gut microbiota. We thus tested whether the concept of enterotype can be applied to the gut microbiota of ICU patients, to de...
