Characterization of fecal microbiota across seven Chinese ethnic groups by quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

The human gut microbiota consists of complex microbial communities, which possibly play crucial roles in physiological functioning and health maintenance. China has evolved into a multicultural society consisting of the major ethnic group, Han, and 55 official ethnic minority groups. Nowadays, these...
