Biogeographical distribution of gut microbiome composition and function is partially recapitulated by fecal transplantation into germ-free mice Abstract. Fecal microbiota transplantation has been vital for establishing whether host phenotypes can be conferred through the microbiome. However, whethe

Small intestine #gutmicrobiome may have a larger role in modulating host physiology than previously thought, should we still only rely on fecal microbiota transplantation for causality studies #fmt 🤔
