Ethnicity influences the gut microbiota of individuals sharing a geographical location: a cross-sectional study from a middle-income country
Abstract No studies have investigated the influence of ethnicity in a multi-ethnic middle-income country with a long-standing history of co-habitation. Stool samples from 214 Malaysian community members (46 Malay, 65 Chinese, 49 Indian, and 54 Jakun) were collected. The gut microbiota of the partici...
