Article Synopsis
- The human gut microbiota is made up of trillions of microbes that adapt to the diverse environment of the intestine and play a crucial role in nutrient exchange and immune function.
- These microbes and the human host work together as a unit to protect against pathogens and maintain balance, but disruptions in this balance, known as dysbiosis, can lead to disease.
- Understanding the dynamics between the microbiota and the host may influence future antibiotic treatments and lead to alternative approaches like fecal transplants for maintaining gut health.
