Is there a “brain microbiome”? No - Quadram Institute
There is no scientific evidence of a brain microbiome, including no imaging, DNA-sequence-based or culture-based or immunological evidence.

Sad news.

Jimmy Carter, former US president, dies aged 100 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Frustrating that he didn’t live long enough to outlive the guinea worm. But nearly gone now thanks to him and a tremendous team. www.cartercenter.org/resources/pd...

@theguardian.com has eventually published an edited version of our letter. www.theguardian.com/science/2024... @pathogenomenick.bsky.social but behaved disingenuously in adding a title we didn’t agree to. There is *no* evidence of a brain microbiome.

@theguardian.com still not addressed its unbalanced reporting on non existent brain microbiome (failure of substance) but now presenting failure of style with regressive reversion to online offering aping printed version rather than built for mobile devises. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Revisiting this old paper journals.asm.org/doi/pdf/10.1... which proposed the acronym YATM for "yet another typing method", might I suggest YALB1S pronounced yal-biss for "yet another low-biomass 16S study"?
