To detect and characterize the bacterial microbiome in tissue samples using FISH, start by fixing the tissue with a solution like paraformaldehyde to preserve its structure and nucleic acids, then prepare thin sections by embedding and slicing. Next, permeabilize the tissue sections using enzymes such as lysozyme or proteinase K to allow probe penetration through bacterial cell walls. Hybridize the samples, wash the samples to remove unbound probes....Finally, observe the samples under a fluorescence or confocal microscope.
