Bifidobacterium- and Escherichia-dominant ecological guilds shape altered microbial metabolic capacity of the gut microbiome in tuberculosis patients
Gut bacteria in TB patients were investigated using enterosignatures, ecological units of co-occurring bacteria related by function, to suggest that ESs represent a biologically meaningful unit for reducing the complexity of the human gut microbiome and a tool for recognizing sharper patterns behind noisy taxonomic and...
