Declining or Waning
- Traditional Antibiotic Treatments:
As the focus shifts towards understanding the microbiome and its therapeutic potentials, traditional antibiotic treatments are being discussed less frequently compared to novel approaches like phage therapy and probiotics. - Non-Gastrointestinal Focused Pathogens:
Research specifically targeting pathogens outside the gastrointestinal tract has decreased, as the journal narrows its scope to more directly relevant gut pathogens. - Basic Microbial Characterization:
The emphasis on basic microbial characterization without clinical or therapeutic implications is waning, as studies increasingly aim to connect findings with clinical outcomes and therapeutic strategies. - Generalized Epidemiological Studies:
There is a reduction in generalized epidemiological studies that do not delve into the mechanisms of disease or gut microbiome interactions, with a greater focus now on detailed mechanistic studies.
