This study determined the composition and diversity of intestinal microflora in patients with colorectal adenoma (CRA), which may provide precedence for investigating the role of intestinal microflora in the pathogenesis of colorectal tumors, the composition of intestinal microflora closely related to CRA, and further validating the possibility of intestinal flora as a biomarker of CRA.
