The microbiome has been associated with gut health, risks of cardiac and metabolic disease, and even mental health, where the bacterial communities and the products that they produce influence human biology.1-4 Yet, in part because of the microbiome’s complexity, many of these studies have been limited to characterizing these populations broadly or investigating the impacts…

Host–gut microbiota interactions in health and disease: mechanisms and intervention strategies

The mammalian gut teems with microbes that interact with each other dynamically to maintain the host’s health. An imbalance, or dysbiosis, in the gut microbiome is linked to diseases ranging from metabolic disorders to cancers.1However, a majority of gut microbiome dysbiosis research focuses only on identifying bacterial taxa that differ between healthy and diseased states,…
