Strain-level translocation and enrichment mechanisms of oral bacteria in the lower gastrointestinal tract of stunted children
Emerging evidence suggests that ectopic colonization of oral bacteria in the lower digestive tract may exacerbate gastrointestinal disorders. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether bacteria of oral ...

You can get an accurate estimate of total bacterial biomass from stool metagenomes by simply normalizing by host read count, without needing any additional measurements.
