The paper examines gut microbiome changes in chronic systolic heart failure patients, linking microbiome alterations to disease severity and clinical improvement.

This study tracks microbiome changes across four body sites in 86 participants over six years, revealing site-specific stability, individualized dynamics, and altered patterns in insulin-resistant individuals.

The paper identifies 12 microbial genera and families that reproducibly vary by ethnicity in two U.S. 16S gut microbiota datasets involving 1,673 individuals.
