在这篇文章中，我们认为有必要仔细检查人类微生物组科学与种族和种族主义的关系，以便在该领域促进公平的社会和生态关系。我们指出了在微生物组文献中使用种族的问题的起源和演变，通过证明在人类微生物组科学中和之外明确和隐含地增加了对种族的使用。我们展示了这些用途如何限制了严格和公正的微生物组研究的未来。最后，我们概述了可供选择的可行方法，以建立更有效的、反种族主义的微生物群科学。
In this article, we argue that a careful examination of human microbiome science’s relationship with race and racism is necessary to foster equitable social and ecological relations in the field. We point to the origins and evolution of the problematic use of race in microbiome literature by demonstrating the increased usage of race both explicitly and implicitly in and beyond the human microbiome sciences. We demonstrate how these uses limit the future of rigorous and just microbiome research. We conclude with an outline of alternative actionable ways to build a more effective, antiracist microbiome science.
