Estudio del adn de la microbioma humana y su aporte en medicina legal

Abstract

Introduction: Forensic sciences have been advancing at accelerated pace in recent decades and with it new useful methods for expert witnessing have been born, such as DNA sequencing of the microbiome to establish and clarify medical-legal cases such as disappearances, a means of evidence based on several aspects. . of each microorganism that we find in anatomical areas that can be used as particular fingerprints of each individual. Objective: Determine the use that DNA sequencing of the human microbiome can be given through a bibliographic study to understand the use of legal medicine. Methodology: This study was carried out using an analysis-synthesis method for the latest high-impact scientific with the help of search engines with MESH terminology. Once selected, it was searched in indexed journals such as Pubmed, Elsevier or in external search engines. journals of high academic value for this elaboration, a variety of articles were studied, a specific selection was reached to enrich the topic sought for understanding the contribution of the microbiome in the area of forensic medicine. Conclusion: According to the information found about the DNA of the human microbiome, it has been taken into account in few legal medical investigations that helped clarify cases, taking this into account, the genomic sequencing of the microbiome should be studied further, which will serve as a means of proof if there is no DNA. specific human due to degradation since the microbiome can be preserved in a more effective way allowing legal medical professionals for expert reports.
