TCGA allows to explore the role of tissue-resident microbiota in various cancer types and identifying predictive microbial biomarkers.
Immune responses to the gut microbiota can be used as biomarkers of clinical course in IBD or as targets for the treatment or prevention of the condition.
Decreased microbial diversity and increased abundance of Firmicutes phylum in the respiratory tract may be associated with an increased risk of lung cancer.
The findings suggest that delivery mode, rather than birth canal exposure, has a strong influence on the composition of the infant microbiota.
Modulating the gut microbiota could help to increase Plasmodium-specific immunity, thus reducing disease severity and malaria-associated mortality.
