Metagenomic Study of the MESA: Detection of <i>Gemella Morbillorum</i> and Association With Coronary Heart Disease
Metagenomics of whole-genome sequence reads opens a possible frontier for detection of pathogens for chronic diseases. The association of <i>G morbillorum</i> and <i>Pseudomonas</i> species reads with CHD raises the possibilities that microbes may drive atherosclerotic inflammation and that treatments for specific pathogens may provide clinical utility for CHD reduction.
