Postoperative changes in fecal bacterial communities and fermentation products in obese patients undergoing bilio-intestinal bypass

Postoperative changes in fecal bacterial communities and fermentation products in obese patients undergoing bilio-intestinal bypass

We assessed the gut microbial ecology of 11 severely obese patients before and after bilio-intestinal bypass (BIB). Fecal samples were evaluated for microbial communities using 16S rDNA Illumina sequencing, real-time PCR targeting functional genes, and gas chromatography of short chain fatty acids (...
