Interesting but not surprising—10 bacterial species dominate half of the literature. While model organisms are invaluable, this highlights the immense diversity we’re overlooking. Are we limiting discovery by sticking to the familiar?
Ten species comprise half of the bacteriology literature, leaving most species unstudied

B. subtilis is #6 😍, anyhow, the literature is biased to models
Would publications on plants or animals be similarly biased?

TL;DR: there’s no evidence for a ‘brain microbiome.’ Contamination explains microbial DNA findings in brain studies. Let’s stick to rigorous science and avoid speculative claims.
