Chenchen Ma, Chengcheng Zhang, and Denghui Chen et al. examine how probiotic consumption impacts gut microbiota composition in human and mice through a global, cross-cohort metagenomic analysis. Their results suggest that probiotic consumption may result in widespread variation among the native microbiota in both the human and mouse gut.
