About this study
The purpose of this study is to find more information about the bacteria that live in the gastrointestinal tract. Bacteria are essential for human life; they are needed to digest food, break down certain vitamins and form a barrier against disease-causing bacteria. We are doing this research study to understand the relationship between bacteria (the human microbiome) and their role in health and disease.
