Many of the gut-microbiome-derived signatures for liver cirrhosis, especially the important ones, were likely under the influence of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Wu et al. suggest that drug usage is a confounding factor in metagenomics analysis that should be controlled for.
许多源自肠道微生物组的肝硬化特征，尤其是重要的那些，可能受到质子泵抑制剂（PPIs）的影响。Wu 等人建议，药物使用是宏基因组分析中的一个混杂因素，应该加以控制。
