SnapShot: The Human Microbiome

- Summary

- Metrics

Abstract

Trilions of bacteria populate the human body, with research efforts focusing on documenting the complexity of these communities and their contributions to physiological processes. This SnapShot presents several aspects of the human microbiome, including the characterization of the microbial species populating different body sites, the distribution of microbes across different geographic locations, and how the microbiome can be altered by a physiological process, exemplified by pregnancy.
