Attributes of intestinal microbiota composition and their correlation with clinical primary nonresponse to anti-TNF-α agents in inflammatory bowel disease patients

The largest microbial aggregation in the human body exists in the gastrointestinal tract. The microbiota in the host gastrointestinal tract comprises a diverse ecosystem, and the intestinal microbiota plays a vital role in maintaining gut homeostasis. This study aims to examine whether the gut micr...
