or even can be ‘mutualistic’, meaning that they actually benefit the host. The skin flora is important in the immune function of the skin and offers protection against ‘pathogenic’ (i.e. disease causing) micro-organisms by secreting
By introducing dietary signals into the nexus between the host and its microbiota, nutrition sustains homeostasis or contributes to disease susceptibility. Herein, we summarize major concepts related to the effect of dietary constituents on the gut microbiota, highlighting chief principles in the diet–...
