Characterization of the gut microbiota in people with different levels of obesity
Populations with different obesity traits show unique changes in gut flora. The level of dysbiosis, or imbalance in intestinal microbiota, rises with obesity. These microbial changes are linked to host metabolism, indicating that targeting harmful bacteria and supplementing with beneficial ones from normal-weight populations could effectively reduce obesity.
