A core microbiome signature as an indicator of health

Wu, Guojun et al. Cell, Volume 187, Issue 23, 6550 – 6565.e11

This study identifies gut bacteria that maintain stable, enduring relationships under various perturbations, such as dietary changes and disease states. These bacteria form a core microbiome structure of two competing guilds (TCGs), one beneficial, the other potentially detrimental, across populations and health statuses, offering a novel target for modulating human health.
