Establishment of the gut microbiota in Western infants (2009, background): “On the other hand, the bowel microbiota appears to be quite homogenous from ascending colon to rectum (4,5).”
The human gut microbiome: ecology and recent evolutionary changes. (2011, background): “Standard biopsy samples show little variation in mucosal community diversity along the length of the colon, indicating a relatively uniform or well-mixed system (23, 111), and fecal microbiota represent a mix of mucosally associated and lumenal populations (23, 47).”
Ecological and evolutionary forces shaping microbial diversity in the human intestine. (2006, neutral): “Mucosal communities sampled at different points along the colon were similar within each of the three human hosts (Eckburg et al., 2005; Zoetendal et al., 2002), and their composition overlapped with the fecal microbiota (the colon has incomplete peristalsis that permits backflow and mixing).”
Intestinal microbiota in human health and disease: the impact of probiotics (2011, background): “However, as it is increasingly acknowledged that the composition of microbiota differs significantly in the different niches, more efforts are undertaken to determine the spatio-temporal dynamics of the microbial diversity along the whole GI tract (Zoetendal et al. 2002).”
High-throughput diversity and functionality analysis of the gastrointestinal tract microbiota (2008, background): “32 33 46 47 Fingerprinting studies based on DGGE analysis of SSU rRNA gene amplicons indicated that the dominant community in faecal samples in about half of the subjects studied does not necessarily represent that found in other parts of the GI tract, including the colonic mucosa.(48) 49 This most ”
