Microbiome-Host Interactions in Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplant Recipients

• Microbiome alterations are associated with infection, GVHD, and other adverse transplant outcomes.• “Multi-omic” technologies may better identify clinically actionable microbiome biomarkers.• Functional microbial characterization may improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.• Know ledge gaps persist in chronic GVHD and extra-intestinal microbiome-host interactions.• Multi-institutional studies and data collection expansion will maximize microbiome research impact.
