A team led by researchers at HMS and the Broad has just accomplished the rare feat of connecting those dots for one important gut bacterium. You can change the bacterium and apply the same set of tests,” said Clardy. Such knowledge is essential for learning how to manipulate gut bacteria to treat or prevent illness.
