Abstract

Various microbial communities and their genes collectively known as microbiome exist throughout the human body. The microbiome endows us with physiologic capacities that we have not had to evolve on our own and thus is both a manifestation of who we are genetically and metabolically, and a reflection of our state of well-being. Our distal gut is the known ecosystem with highest density of microbial population and the most comprehensively surveyed to date. The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that affects the development, immunological responses and nutritional status of the host. This review briefly discusses the significance of the gut microbiome in human health and wellness.
