TY - T1 - Mouse models for human intestinal microbiota research : a critical evaluation SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/231776 T3 - A1 - Hugenholtz, Floor; de Vos, Willem M. A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Since the early days of the intestinal microbiota research, mouse models have been used frequently to study the interaction of microbes with their host. However, to translate the knowledge gained from mouse studies to a human situation, the major spatio-temporal similarities and differences between intestinal microbiota in mice and humans need to be considered. This is done here with specific attention for the comparative physiology of the intestinal tract, the effect of dietary patterns and dif...
