Mapping the abundance of the seven most relevant bacterial taxa in the distal intestine.
Intensity of bacterial fermentation in the caecum and colon is significantly higher than in the small intestine
Microbiota composition is fundamentally different from that in the small intestine, with the main species belonging to the families Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae
In the lower intestine, the microbiota is diverse and fastidious, so conventional culture-based techniques are not an option for microbiota analysis
DistaMap™ quantitatively measures the absolute numbers and relationships between common bacteria present in the distal intestine
