High-throughput sequencing, combined with high-resolution metagenomic analysis, provides a powerful diagnostic tool for clinical management of enteric disease. Forty-five patient samples of known and unknown disease etiology and 20 samples from health individuals were subjected to next-generation sequencing. Subsequent metagenomic analysis identified all microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) in the samples, including the expected pathogens in the samples of known etiology. Multiple pathogens were detected in the individual samples, providing evidence for polymicrobial infection. Patients were clearly differentiated from healthy individuals based on microorganism abundance and diversity. The speed, accuracy and actionable features of CosmosID bioinformatics and curated GenBook® databases, implemented in the QIAGEN Microbial Genomics Pro Suite, and the functional analysis, leveraging the QIAGEN functional metagenomics workflow, provide a powerful tool contributing to the revolution in clinical diagnostics, prophylactics and therapeutics that is now in progress globally.

and over 1000 papers describing the various aspects of it.

8. Cholera: A Global Disease
• Acute water-related diarrheal disease
• Seventh pandemic started in 1960s
• Occurs in more than 50 countries
affecting approximately 7 million
people
• Bengal Delta is known as “native
homeland” of cholera outbreaks
• Since cholera bacteria
• exist naturally in aquatic habitats
• evidence of new biotypes
emerging, it is highly unlikely
that cholera will be eradicated
but clearly can be controlled by
provision of safe drinking water.

33. Summary
• Microbial communities found in the healthy volunteers suggest that the
microbiome of healthy humans of Indian descent is markedly different than
those of Western European descent.
• Indian population may tolerate low number of pathogenic microorganisms
that may indicate a “disease state” for Western European descent
• Metadata revealed that patients who exhibited profound watery diarrhea
contained in their microbiome pathogens primarily of the Escherichia coli
complex, namely pathogenic E. coli and Shigella species.
• Multiple pathogens can readily be identified from disease patients
• Microbial community of Indian population encodes alarming rate of
antibiotic resistance genes
• Functional analysis of the Indian microbiome indicates predominance of
carbohydrate metabolism genes
• Over abundance of cyto-/hemolysis genes observed in unknown etiology
help explain diseased state
