VII. 2 Literature

The complete bibliography of "UltraBiome HandBook" – the original scientific sources behind the reference numbers that appear in the chapters.

What is in the bibliography?

This appendix holds the book's complete bibliography in one place: every scientific reference cited in any chapter of the volume. The `[12]`, `[325]` and other numbers in the body text point to the entries listed below – the numbering runs across the entire book, so the same `[N]` reference number always points to the same source. The vast majority of the listed publications appeared in peer-reviewed journals and are also findable in indexed databases (PubMed/NCBI, Crossref), from reputable professional publishers.

Why is there a summary under each entry?

Under each reference there is a 5–6 sentence synopsis. This is not the article's official abstract but a short, plain-language summary presenting the study's background, the method used, the main result, and its clinical or practical significance. Its purpose is to let the reader quickly decide whether the full publication is worth reading and whether it fits their own question or the patient's situation. The summaries help you orient yourself even without direct access to the full text.

How to use it?

Under each entry you will find the "Cited in" line: clicking the chapter number shown there returns you to the part of the book where the source is cited. Within that chapter, clicking the `[N]` marker brings the reader here, to the bibliography – so you can move freely in both directions. Clicking the reference marked "Link" opens the publication on the publisher's or NCBI's site, where – if the article is freely accessible (open access) – the full text can also be read.
