Human Microbiota, the Microbiome, and Dysbiosis — Medical Microbiology

Microbiology · Basic Sciences

How it begins

Composition by ecological niches, eubiosis, competitive exclusion, SCFA metabolism, Clostridioides difficile infection and fecal microbiota transplantation. The human microbiome, shotgun metagenomics, biogeographic profiles (skin, mouth, intestine, vagina), bacterial metabolites (SCFA acetate, propionate, butyrate), dysbiosis, Clostridioides difficile, gut-brain axis, fecal microbiota transplantation...
