Abstract
The humans are colonized by abundant and diverse fungi, collectively referred to as mycobiome which has garnered much less attention to date than the colonizing bacterial microbiome. The advancement of next-generation high throughput sequencing technologies have expanded our knowledge substantially in human microbiome and gradually in human mycobiome in association with health and disease [1,2].
Highlights
The humans are colonized by abundant and diverse fungi, collectively referred to as mycobiome which has garnered much less attention to date than the colonizing bacterial microbiome
Fungi of the genus Malassezia predominated the skin mycobiome [10], while Aspergillus species and Scedosporium species are regularly inhaled by lungs in humans [3]
Fungal genera including Candida and Saccharomyces were identified in breastmilk [11,12]
Summary
The humans are colonized by abundant and diverse fungi, collectively referred to as mycobiome which has garnered much less attention to date than the colonizing bacterial microbiome. Aspergillus, Candida, Debaryomyces, Malassezia, Penicillium, Pichia, Saccharomyces, Cladosporium, Clavispora, Cyberlindnera, and Galactomyces are the most prevalent fungal genera [6,7,8]. Fungi of the genus Malassezia predominated the skin mycobiome [10], while Aspergillus species and Scedosporium species are regularly inhaled by lungs in humans [3].
