Data Availability Statement: The amplicon sequence data from this study have been submitted to the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA; http:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra/sra.cgi) under the BioProject (PRJNA273295) accession number SRP052710. Sequences derived from mice were uploaded as two independent FASTQ files representing forward and reverse reads from each sample. In sequences derived from human feces, sequence reads were imported into the software package CLC genomics workbench and mapped against the Hg19 human genome reference. Reads mapping to the human genome (

Burn Injury Alters the Intestinal Microbiome and Increases Gut Permeability and Bacterial Translocation.

Sepsis remains one of the leading causes of death in burn patients who survive the initial insult of injury. Disruption of the intestinal epithelial b...
