Declarations

:

: This study focuses on screening and studying bacterial strains, while the specific extraction of bacterial strains from human fecal samples does not require additional ethical approval. As such, it does not involve direct human experimentation or any associated ethical concerns, but we still emphasize our commitment to ethical standards. The human fecal samples used in our study were obtained with proper informed consent procedures and were processed in a way that ensures the complete anonymity of the donors, with no personally identifiable information included. No specific ethical approval was required for this part of the study.
