A pilot study demonstrating the altered gut microbiota functionality in stable adults with Cystic Fibrosis
Abstract Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and its treatment result in an altered gut microbiota composition compared to non-CF controls. However, the impact of this on gut microbiota functionality has not been extensively characterised. Our aim was to conduct a proof-of-principle study to investigate if measura...
