Transmission of human-associated microbiota along family and social networks

2019-02-05

Abstract excerpt

The human microbiome, described as an accessory organ because of the crucial functions it provides, is composed of species that are uniquely found in humans 1,2 . Yet, surprisingly little is known about the impact of routine interpersonal contacts in shaping microbiome composition. In a relatively ‘closed’ cohort of 287 people from the Fiji Islands, where common barriers to bacterial transmission are absent, we e...
