Dear microbiome digest readers, on this weekend we have covered interesting review articles focusing on factors that influence the temporal development of the infant microbiome, and  the role of gut microbiota in colorectal cancer, and research articles shows the role of microbiome in managing constipation, in Atopic Dermatitis, microbiome-host interaction in Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection, Successful fecal microbiota transplantation for the treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection, sputum microbiome in asthma and COPD and various research articles from Animal microbiome/Animal experiments section including fine-scale spatial structuring of the microbial composition and diversity along the length of murine colon. Enjoy reading.
