Microbes in Health and Disease: Human Gut Microbiota

Humans and microbes (e.g., bacteria, fungi, and microalgae) have coexisted and coevolved toward reciprocal adaptation. As omics technologies have rapidly advanced, the relevance of microbes to human health and disease as well as other fields has been progressively unraveled. This review focuses on t...

description Humans and microbes (e.g., bacteria, fungi, and microalgae) have coexisted and coevolved toward reciprocal adaptation. As omics technologies have rapidly advanced, the relevance of microbes to human health and disease as well as other fields has been progressively unraveled. This review focuses on the human gut microbiota, which is an emerging focus of microbiological research. This review synthesizes recent advances in exploring the fundamentals and multiple functions of the human gut microbiota and its associations with human health and diseases as well as microbiota-targeted therapies.
