Navigating the Microbiota Seas: Triangulation Finds a Way Forward

Cell Host Microbe. 2018 Jan 10;23(1):1-3. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2017.12.015.

Abstract

Identifying members of the intestinal microbiota that play causal roles in shaping human disease susceptibility has been an ongoing challenge. In their recent paper in Nature, Surana and Kasper (2017) present a new strategy that may help "triangulate" causal and therapeutically useful bacteria from the human gut.
