Important echoing of Eckburg 2005 in the modern era

Posted by Richard_Hansen on 24 Feb 2011 at 23:26 GMT

I commend the authors on an important piece of work that helps allay fears that high-throughput technology in the modern era might reverse earlier data showing that the colonic microbiota doesn't change substantially from caecum to rectum.
