Ethnicity-Influenced Microbiota: A Future Healthcare Perspective

Madhusmita Dehingia et al. Trends Microbiol. 2019 Mar.

Abstract

Global research is focused on understanding the factors affecting human gut microbiota vis-à-vis health. Brooks et al. [PLoS Biol. (2018) 16, e2006842] has reported a group of microbial taxa that vary across ethnicity in the USA (AGP and HMP data sets). Ethnicity-specific microbial signatures will aid in developing therapeutics for targeted microbiota modulation.

Keywords: ethnicity; gut microbiota; health disparity.
