Microbiota
Microbiota: is the microorganisms of a particular habitat, site, or geological period. A microbiota includes any type of bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi and viruses. Microbiota have been found to be crucial for immunologic, hormonal and metabolic homeostasis of their host.
The microbiome has emerged as a major contributor to human health and disease. Numerous sources implicate shifts in the gut microbiome as potentially pathologic for a variety of autoimmune d...
Purpose: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a Gram positive coccus which is part of the normal microbiota of the GI and GU tracts. However GBS is also a major cause of septicaemia and meningitis...
