Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the fields of biology and medicine; in particular, it relates to a simple method for rapidly extracting bacterial DNA from human feces. Background technique
[0002] The intestinal microbial flora is a huge and complex ecosystem, which accounts for about 80% of the total number of microecological bacteria in the body. Contains 100 trillion kinds of microorganisms, involving 1000 types of bacteria, the number of which is 10 times the number of human cells in the immune system. These bacteria help the body digest food, produce vitamins to prevent diseases caused by bacteria in food, and stimulate the body. As research progressed, scientists discovered that gut microbes also play a key role in many chronic diseases and conditions, such as inflammation and obesity. There should also be a close relationship between the intestinal microbial flora and the host’s genetic factors. Human genes will have an important impact on the intes...
