Humans are colonised by trillions of microorganisms. Some of which are commensal, meaning they coexist without harming humans. Others have a mutualistic relationship with their human hosts. There are several hundred species of microbes per person residing mainly in the human gastrointestinal tract and are in a symbiotic relationship, providing protection to the gut and regulating the immunological, metabolic, and neuronal functions throughout the human body.
Your gut microbiome includes all the bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses and their collective genetic material. A variety of disorders including inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, cancer, Parkinson’s disease are associated with disruptions to the microbiome. Studies have also noted that microbiota regulate the response to various cancer immunotherapies. Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance of bacteria in human gut. Thus, exploring individual microbiome flora is essential to recognise one’s underlying diseases.
