A novel technique capable of taking ‘protected’ biopsies for reliable assessment of the distribution of microbiota along the colonic mucosa

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: We evaluated a novel 'protected' biopsy method to reliably ascertain the spatial distribution of the mucosa-adherent colonic microbiota. Apart from minor differences at genus level, overall similarities along the colon were high between the various areas, irrespective of protected or unprotected sampling.
