Popis: The advent of technologies has made allogenic transplantation a potential curative therapy for end-stage renal diseases, but the episodes of rejection still remain as one of the challenges in the post-transplant scenario. In the recent years, several human and animal studies have elucidated that gut microbial dysbiosis is closely linked with allogenic transplantation and post-transplant complications. But most of the studies focused on the use of high through-put sequencing technologies to analyze gut microbiota despite of its high cost, analysis and time constraints. Hence, in this work we aimed to study the impact of the two dominant gut phyla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes on 38 renal transplant recipients, before and after transplantation and to find its association with allograft rejection.
