The gut microbiome: Relationships with disease and opportunities for therapy (2018, background): “In adulthood, despite the taxonomic uniqueness and personal nature of the human gut microbiome (Faith et al., 2013), its functional attributes are relatively consistent across healthy adult populations (Turnbaugh et al.”
Host genetic variation impacts microbiome composition across human body sites (2015, background): “Within each body site, the composition of the microbiome may change rapidly, but community features can remain constant for years [5, 6].”
Natural history of the infant gut microbiome and impact of antibiotic treatments on strain-level diversity and stability (2015, background): “Bacterial strains evolve within the gut (43) and are also introduced from the external environment (for example, diet and household animals) (36, 37, 44).”

The Human Gut Microbiome: From Association to Modulation. (2018, neutral): “346 For example, intra-individual genus and species-level compositional variation over time is lower 347 than inter-individual differences (see e.g., Faith et al., 2013; The Human Microbiome Project Consortium, 348 2012, among others), an observation that has since been extended to strain-level…”
The Host Shapes the Gut Microbiota via Fecal microRNA (2016, neutral): “The gut harbors approximately 10–100 trillion microorganisms, which include 100–200 different bacterial species and approximately 2–4 million genes (Faith et al., 2013).”
Bifidobacteria and Butyrate-Producing Colon Bacteria: Importance and Strategies for Their Stimulation in the Human Gut (2016, background): “…that fecal numbers in infants younger than 6 months are undetectable, slightly increase between the age of 6 and 24 months, then suddenly increase to reach a peak during late childhood and adolescence, and finally decrease again during adulthood and especially in the elderly (Miquel et al., 2014).”
Organisms or biological individuals? Combining physiological and evolutionary individuality (2016, background): “…2006; Dupré and O’Malley 2009; Bosch and McFall-Ngai 2011; Pradeu 2012), functionallyintegrated wholes that unify an extraordinarily diverse range of living constituents – in particular bacteria (Bäckhed et al. 2005; Faith et al. 2013), fungi (Underhill and Iliev 2014), and viruses (Virgin 2014).”
