The Spanish gut microbiome reveals links between microorganisms and Mediterranean diet
Abstract Despite the increasing evidence of links between human gut and health, the number of gut microbiomes that have been studied to date at a country level are surprisingly low. Mediterranean countries, including some of the most long-lived and healthy countries in the world, have not been consi...
