Development of the Human Infant Intestinal Microbiota (2007)

Chana Palmer, Elisabeth M. Bik, Daniel B. DiGiulio, David A. Relman, Patrick O. Brown

Almost immediately after a human being is born, so too is a new microbial ecosystem, one that resides in that person's gastrointestinal tract. Although it is a universal and integral part of human...

Rapid quantitative profiling of complex microbial populations

Palmer, Chana, Bik, Elisabeth M., Eisen, Michael B., Eckburg, Paul B., Sana, Theodore R., Wolber, Paul K., ...

Diverse and complex microbial ecosystems are found in virtually every environment on earth, yet we know very little about their composition and ecology. Comprehensive identification and...

Diversity of the Human Intestinal Microbial Flora

Eckburg, Paul B., Bik, Elisabeth M., Bernstein, Charles N., Purdom, Elizabeth, Dethlefsen, Les, Sargent, Michael, ...

The human endogenous intestinal microflora is an essential “organ” in providing nourishment, regulating epithelial development, and instructing innate immunity; yet, surprisingly, basic features...

Molecular analysis of the bacterial microbiota in the human stomach

Bik, Elisabeth M., Eckburg, Paul B., Gill, Steven R., Nelson, Karen E., Purdom, Elizabeth A., Francois, Fritz, ...

The microbiota of the human stomach and the influence of Helicobacter pylori colonization on its composition remain largely unknown. We characterized bacterial diversity within the human gastric...

Dissecting biological “dark matter” with single-cell genetic analysis of rare and uncultivated TM7 microbes from the human mouth

Marcy, Yann, Ouverney, Cleber, Bik, Elisabeth M., Lösekann, Tina, Ivanova, Natalia, Martin, Hector Garcia, ...

We have developed a microfluidic device that allows the isolation and genome amplification of individual microbial cells, thereby enabling organism-level genomic analysis of complex microbial...
