主要结局
Correlation of Microbiome to Disease via Relative Abundance and Presence of Absence of Specific Bacterial Species Found in Microbiome Sequencing
时间窗: One year
The identification of bacterial species residing the gut flora will be processed by next generation sequencing followed by metagenomic analysis. Bacterial diversity will then be evaluated in parallel with relative abundance of targeted species within and among individual microbes. For example, in examining the class clostridia looking at the species Clostridioides difficile and seeing what proportion of the Clostridia is represented by C. difficile.
