The aim of this study is to characterize various patterns of human CRC microbiome using pyrosequencing-based molecular monitoring of bacterial 16S rRNA gene from eight tumor/normal pairs, combined with the findings from the previous studies.  During colonoscopy, colorectal adenocarcinoma and adjacent nonaffected tissue were obtained from eight patients following the Standard Operating Procedures.
