DGGE profiles of the predominant intestinal bacteria in H7N9-infected patients.

Abstract

<p><b>(a)</b> DGGE profiles of fecal bacteria in A, B and C groups. <b>(b)</b> Differences in the DGGE profiles of fecal samples taken at different time points from the same individual were apparent, particularly for patients D1, D2, D4, D5 and D7. This result suggests temporal instability in the predominant bacterial population in H7N9-infected patients with secondary infection.</p
