Furthermore, the identity of these bacteria affects host immune and metabolic parameters, with broad implications for human health. Familiarity with these associations will be of tremendous use to the practitioner as well as the patient. Background The gut microbiome The human gut microbiome ...
Marked changes in socio-economic status, cultural traditions, population growth and agriculture are affecting diets worldwide. Understanding how our diet and nutritional status influence the composition and dynamic operations of our gut microbial communi
Ana M Valdes and colleagues discuss strategies for modulating the gut microbiota through diet and probiotics Microbiome refers to the collective genomes of the micro-organisms in a particular environment, and microbiota is the community of micro-organisms themselves (box 1).

In our view, studies of human gut microbial communities will markedly revise current thinking about many aspects of human nutrition. The knowledge gained could and should catalyze efforts to integrate agricultural policies, food production, and nutritional recommendations for consumers representing different...
The gut microbiome plays an important role in animal physiological and pathological processes, and has also been found to play a health protective role in the vulture adaptation to scavenging. However, the microbial taxonomic diversity (including nonculturable and culturable microbes), functions, and ...
Essentially, a balanced gut is one that’s diverse, high in good (friendly) bacteria, and low in bad (pathogenic) bacteria. Naturally, diet is a major factor in how balanced and resilient your gut microbiome is. “Nutrition has profound effects on microbial composition, in turn affecting ...
Our current food system relies on unsustainable practices, which often fail to provide healthy diets to a growing population. Therefore, there is an urgent demand for new sustainable nutrition sources and processes. Microorganisms have gained attention a
