#Fecal #metabolite profiling identifies critically #ill patients with increased 30-day #mortality
Critically ill patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) have reduced intestinal microbiota diversity and altered microbiome-associated metabolite concentrations. Metabolites produced by the gut microbiota have been associated with survival of patients receiving complex medical treatments and thus might represent a treatable trait to improve clinical outcomes. We prospectively collected fecal specimens, defined… Continue reading #Fecal #metabolite profiling identifies critically #ill patients with increased 30-day #mortality
