Gut microbiome dysbiosis and functional alterations in Campylobacter-associated gastroenteritis using metagenomic approaches

ABSTRACT Campylobacter species are a major cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Using shotgun metagenomic sequencing of stool samples from PCR-confirmed Campylobacter-positive patients and symptomatic PCR-negative controls, we reveal dysbiosis marked by reduced species richness (median Shannon diversity was si...
