A study analyzed 6,138 metagenomes to identify 142,022 strain genotypes in 822 Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients and 1,257 controls. Hundreds of strains were discovered that are associated with health and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). These strains are taxonomically diverse, widespread, and evolutionarily ancient. Many strains respond to inflammatory activity and are adapted to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Genomic analyses showed differences in disease-related pathways. Health-associated strains could have diagnostic utility as they predict fecal calprotectin. The research reveals a large reservoir of microbial diversity wit…
