In 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 virus wreaked havoc on the world, contributing to over seven million cumulative deaths and afflicting many more with…
The scoop on poop: Metagenomic analysis highlights why some bacteria are successful following fecal transplant
Scientists studied the metagenomics of the intestinal microbiome of fecal matter transplant donors and recipients to gain an understanding of which bacterial taxa are successful in recolonizing the fecal transplant recipient’s gut after CDI. Bacterial species that demonstrated genomic evidence of high metabolic independence exhibited better survivability in high-stress conditions than those with lower independence.…
