Machine learning models reveal microbial signatures in healthy human tissues, challenging the sterility of human organs by Anargyros Skoulakis, Anargyros Skoulakis, Giorgos Skoufos, Giorgos Skoufos, Armen Ovsepian, Armen Ovsepian, Artemis G. Hatzigeorgiou, Artemis G. Hatzigeorgiou

“…Notably, the most crucial features were the fungus Sporisorium graminicola for the heart, the gram-positive bacterium Flavonifractor plautii for the colon tissue, and the gram-negative bacterium Bartonella machadoae for the liver.ConclusionThe presence of tissue-specific microbial signatures in certain tissues suggests that these organs are not devoid of microorganisms even in healthy conditions and probably they harbor low-biomass microbial communities unique to each tissue. …”
