Comparison of Argentinean microbiota with other geographical populations reveals different taxonomic and functional signatures associated with obesity

Abstract Accumulating evidence suggests that various genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of obesity. Among the latter, the gut microbiota has emerged as a critical player in the regulation of human metabolism and health and the development of non-communicable chronic dise...
