Abstract

Pediatric ulcerative colitis incidence is rapidly rising, yet improved prognostic and therapeutic strategies are needed. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Schirmer et al. (2018) reveal the dynamism of pediatric patient microbiomes through initial diagnosis and treatments, providing insights into microbial targets that predict therapeutic response and disease outcomes.
