Microbial enrichment and storage for metagenomics of vaginal, skin, and saliva samples

Summary: Few validated protocols are available for large-scale collection, storage, and analysis of microbiome samples from the vagina, skin, and mouth. To prepare for a large-scale study on the female microbiome by remote self-sampling, we investigated the impact of sample collection, storage, and...
