Report of a New Method Used to Identify the Bacteria Present in a Human Colon Biopsy Sample
Completed
- Conditions
- Molecular Analysis
- Interventions
- Procedure: molecular analysis
- Registration Number
- NCT00882752
- Lead Sponsor
- Southwest Regional Wound Care Center
- Brief Summary
The method used for the biopsy analysis may be able to provide important insights into the complex microbial communities found in the human colon or in complex human infections. Therefore, this methodology may prove useful to other researchers or physicians.
- Detailed Description
The method used to identify the microbes in the sample was chosen because it had the potential to provide more exhaustive identification of the bacteria present in the sample as compared to culturing methodology. The molecular method worked well, so it is appropriate to share the method with the medical and scientific communities.
