Researchersexamined the oral and gut microbiome of melanoma patients undergoing anti–programmed cell death 1 protein (PD-1) immunotherapy (n= 112). Significant differences were observed in the diversity and composition of the patient gut microbiome of responders versus nonresponders. Analysis of patient fecal microbiome samples (n= 43, 30 responders, 13 nonresponders) showed significantly higher alpha diversity (P< 0.01) and relative abundance of bacteria of the Ruminococcaceae family (P< 0.01) in responding patients.
