Resumen de The super-abundant virus controlling our gut
A new virus has been discovered that could lurk in the guts of almost three-quarters of people around the world. Its discovery supports the idea that viruses help regulate the teeming bacterial communities that call one's gut home. The virus was found when Bas Dutilh of Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, and colleagues were trawling through data from fecal samples collected for a 2010 study looking at the microbial gut communities of twins. The study found that viruses varied more widely between the twins than the bacterial communities did.
