| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sequencing with fecal DNA harvested from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, chronic liver disease (CLD) patients and healthy donors (HD) reveals that the microbiota of the HCC patients was differently clustered from HD microbiota. Liver carcinogenesis was observed in 67 % of mice transplanted with feces of HCC patients, but no carcinogenesis was seen in the mice transplanted with HD feces.
