Abstract

Animals Anti-Bacterial Agents - administration & dosage Biology - methods Biology - trends Drug Resistance, Bacterial - genetics Gastrointestinal Tract - embryology Gastrointestinal Tract - growth & development Gastrointestinal Tract - microbiology Genetic Variation Host Microbial Interactions Humans Metagenome - genetics Microbiota - physiology
The evolutionary fate of humans is intimately linked with that of our microbiome. Medical and technological advances have caused large-scale changes in the composition and maturation of human-associated microbial communities, increasing our susceptibility to infectious and developmental diseases. Restoration of the human microbiome must become a priority for biomedicine.
