Young, C and Quirke, P (2015) Secrets from the microbiome: molecular biology meets microbiology meets histopathology...meets clinical biochemistry. Annals of Clinical Biochemistry, 52 (6). pp. 687-689. ISSN 0004-5632
Abstract
The microbiome is the collective term used to describe the bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea that reside on and in the human body. The majority of these organisms are found within the large bowel. Mounting evidence suggests that changes in the microbiome may be associated with the development of colorectal cancer, a disease which affects 1.3 million people a year worldwide. Using colorectal cancer as an example, this article presents the inter-specialty collaborative approach to microbiome research and discusses the key role that clinical biochemistry is likely to play.
