Thanatomicrobiome composition profiling as a tool for forensic investigation [PDF]
Forensic Sciences Research, 2018 Thanatomicrobiome, or the postmortem microbiome, has been recognized as a useful microbial marker of the time and location of host death. In this mini-review, we compare the experimental methods commonly applied to thanatomicrobiome studies to the state ...

The Thanatomicrobiome: A Missing Piece of the Microbial Puzzle of Death [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Death is a universal phenomenon; however, is there life after death? This topic has been investigated for centuries but still there are grey areas that have yet to be elucidated. Forensic microbiologists are developing new applications to investigate the

16S rRNA, metagenomics and 2bRAD-M sequencing to decode human thanatomicrobiome [PDF]
Scientific DataMicroorganisms are essential in the decomposition of corpses and play a significant role in forensic science. However, previous studies have primarily focused on animal remains, specifically the gut, skin, and burial environment.

COVID-19 and brain-heart-lung microbial fingerprints in Italian cadavers [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 Introduction: The fact that SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that caused COVID-19, can translocate within days of infection to the brain and heart and that the virus can survive for months is well established.

Editorial: Life and Death: New Perspectives and Applications in Forensic Science [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Death is a universal phenomenon and what happens after life has led to extensive forensic ecology research. Consequently, we now know that the shell of the once living provides fertile ground for other life forms, spanning prokaryotic microbes to large ...

Dissecting the microbial community structure of internal organs during the early postmortem period in a murine corpse model [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2023 Background Microorganisms distribute and proliferate both inside and outside the body, which are the main mediators of decomposition after death. However, limited information is available on the postmortem microbiota changes of extraintestinal body sites
