Gut microbiota profiling in burn patients using 16S rRNA sequencing
This study investigates the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota in burn patients using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Fecal samples were collected at different clinical stages to evaluate microbial shifts associated with injury and recovery. Understanding how burn injuries impact gut microbial ecology could provide insights into host-microbiome interactions, potential biomarkers of recovery, and new targets for microbiota-based interventions. This dataset supports ongoing research into the role of the gut microbiome in systemic responses to severe trauma.
