A276 CHARACTERIZING MICROBIOTA COMPOSITION AND FUNCTION THAT PRECEDE DEVELOPMENT OF CLINICALLY RELEVANT INFLAMMATION IN UC PATIENTS
Abstract
The etiology of ulcerative colitis (UC), one of two forms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), involves genetic and environmental components. Alterations in the composition and/or metabolic function of the colonic microbiota have been suggested by comparing IBD patients with healthy individuals.
