- * Serial analyses of bowel samples from five transplant patients revealed that many infections originated from bacteria that had colonized the gut shortly before the clinical infections occurred.
- * The study suggests that monitoring gut microbiota through fecal metagenomics could help predict and potentially prevent infections in small-bowel transplant patients, especially since better outcomes were associated with more diverse donor grafts.
