Interesting article, based on journal pieces from "Genome Research" and
"Science" on the range of good bacteria in and around the body, specific
to different niches. Who would have thought that the inner elbow has
different colonies than the forearm!? Babies' intestinal tracts are
mentioned in passing -- has anyone seen more of the work by the Stanford
researcher mentioned?
