title = "A novel technique capable of taking {\textquoteleft}protected{\textquoteright} biopsies for reliable assessment of the distribution of microbiota along the colonic mucosa",
abstract = "We evaluated a novel {\textquoteleft}protected{\textquoteright} biopsy method to reliably ascertain the spatial distribution of the mucosa-adherent colonic microbiota. Apart from minor differences at genus level, overall similarities along the colon were high between the various areas, irrespective of protected or unprotected sampling.",
