Title: Comparison of Sampling Methods in Assessing the Microbiomefrom Patients with
Ulcerative Colitis
Version: 1 Date: 06 Aug 2021
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
In this paper you aimed at demonstrating that luminal contents including loosely adherent
luminal bacteria after bowel preparation may be suitable for diagnosing the dysbiosis of UC.
The topic is very interesting, and the manuscript is well written.
On the other hand, I suggest some minor revisions to improve this work.
Minor revisions
INTRODUCTION AND DISCUSSION
Please improve these Sections, citing more studies present in literature about UC and dysbiosis.
