Study summary

Knowledge about the correlations between the composition of the gut microbiome and a wide range of diseases has substantially increased in recent years. Nonetheless, there is no reference set of information about the microbiome in Poland. The development of such a reference will allow polish scientists conducting research in the field of interaction between gut flora components and such characteristics as lifestyle, certain diseases or patient's responses for treatment. Following the example of such countries as the United States, investigators propose to build a unique set of scientific processed information describing the variability of the polish population microbiome (Polish Microbiome Map). The investigators will provide a reliable dataset that will characterize the gut microbiomes and their diversity in the polish population. Additionally, thanks to the creation of the standard protocol for microbiome data collection the research conducted by the MMP users will be comparable with the information deposited in MMP.
