Culturable Human Microorganisms and the Impact of Transportation Conditions on Cultivability.

ABSTRACT: The composition of the human microbiome is a critical health indicator, and culture-independent methodologies have substantially advanced our understanding of human-associated microorganisms. However, precise identification and characterization of microbial strains require culture-based techniques. Recently, the resurgence of culturomics, combined with high-throughput sequencing technology, has reduced the high labor demand of pure culture methods, facilitating a more efficient and comprehensive acquisition of culturable microbial strains. This study employed an integrated approach combining culturomic and high-throughput sequencing to identify culturable microorganisms on the human scalp and in human saliva and feces. Several Staphylococcus strains were identified from the scalp, w
