一些研究报告说，世界各地土著人民的微生物群落中的微生物多样性或不同的微生物群落组成有所增加。然而，普遍未能将土著文化和观点纳入微生物群研究方案，涉及土著参与者的微生物群研究的伦理问题也没有得到足够的重视。我们讨论了涉及土著人民的微生物群研究产生的好处和风险，并在这方面分析了微生物群所有权作为一种伦理概念。我们认为，微生物组所有权为土著人民在研究的每个阶段管理和保护其居住的微生物群落提供了机会。
Several studies have reported increased microbial diversity, or distinct microbial community compositions, in the microbiomes of Indigenous peoples around the world. However, there is a widespread failure to include Indigenous cultures and perspectives in microbiome research programmes, and ethical issues pertaining to microbiome research involving Indigenous participants have not received enough attention. We discuss the benefits and risks arising from microbiome research involving Indigenous peoples and analyse microbiome ownership as an ethical concept in this context. We argue that microbiome ownership represents an opportunity for Indigenous peoples to steward and protect their resident microbial communities at every stage of research.
