Study Could Lead To Modification Of The Gut Flora

This pilot study shows they could also be a product of our genes and therefore possibly changed therapeutically in the future. Apparently peoples guts vary in their individual community of microbiota and the predisposition of a particular healthy strain of bacteria is genetic.
