Microbiome: Researchers Improve Bacterial Analysis for Clinical Applications
Studying bacterial communities, or microbiomes, is a complex challenge. Distortion effects often arise, potentially compromising the accuracy and reliability of crucial scientific and clinical findings. Researchers at the Institute of Environmental Medicine and the Chair of Environmental Medicine at the Medical Faculty at Augsburg University have now developed standardized procedures to address this issue.
