Gut microbiota composition in pediatric patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
High-resolution full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing to characterize gut microbial communities in patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, together with healthy controls. This work aimed to refine current understanding of gut microbiota alterations in pediatric IBD cases and support the identification of reproducible microbial biomarkers and biologically relevant mechanisms
