Abstract

The microbiota regulates immune system, metabolism, and overall health.

  • Microbial communities influence various physiological functions beyond simple coexistence.
  • Dysbiosis, or imbalance of gut microbes, is associated with increased susceptibility to diseases.
  • Microbes inhabit different body regions and are essential for maintaining host balance.
  • Emerging evidence suggests that microbiota can impact brain function and behavior through the gut-brain axis.
  • Microbiota-based therapies, such as probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation, may benefit from personalized approaches.
