Microbiome studies in the medical sciences and the need for closer multidisciplinary interplay

Sci Signal. 2020 Feb 4;13(617):eaba9911. doi: 10.1126/scisignal.aba9911.

Abstract

Next-generation sequencing techniques have enabled identification of the microorganisms colonizing mucosal tissues. The International Congress "MicrobiotaMi 2020" (Milan, February 2020) will focus on the mechanisms of microbiota-related functions in health and disease and their clinical application.
