Introducing the “Microbiomes and Social Equity” Special Collection
Suzanne L. Ishaq, Jack A. Gilbert
Abstract
The Microbes and Social Equity (MSE) working group formed in early 2020 out of a need to place microbiome research in a social and political context so as to be able to address health inequities that are rooted in microbiology. A special collection of articles was commissioned by the MSE group to introduce these concepts to a wider audience.
