Microbial Dynamics Across Commercial Spaceflights of Varying Duration

2026-05-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4> <h4>Summary: </h4> </h4> Spaceflight introduces environmental stressors that can alter human microbiomes and immune responses. We analyzed 259 biospecimens from six astronauts across two commercial ISS missions: Axiom 2 (10-day mission) and Axiom 3 (21-day mission). Samples included saliva, stool, urine, and body swabs from 10 anatomical sites, profiled via 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing. Gut and...
