"""Colleagues: Alexandra H. Mandarano, a Ph.D. student in the Hanson Lab at Cornell, and Ludovic Giloteaux, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Research Associate, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cornell University. Giloteaux presented more microbiome data from the Hanson Lab. The study found markers of inflammation as well as microbial translocation--the passage of gut microbes into the blood. The latter is a common finding in AIDS.  A 2013 journal article on microbial translocation in AIDS notes that the phenomenon has been proposed as """"a major driver of the chronic immune activation that is associated with disease progression."""" (From """"Microbial Translocation in the Pathogenesis of AIDS and HIV Infection,"""" in Clinical Microbiology Reviews, the journal of the American Society for Microbiology, 2013.)"""
