    Graphic depicting the human skin microbiota, with relative prevalences of various classes of bacteria. The human microbiome is the aggregate of all microbiota that reside on or within human tissues and biofluids along with the corresponding anatomical sites in which they reside, [1] [2] including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, mammary glands, seminal fluid, uterus, ovarian follicles, lung ...

  3. Microbiota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiota

    The microbiome and host emerged during evolution as a synergistic unit from epigenetics and genetic characteristics, sometimes collectively referred to as a holobiont. [7] [8] The presence of microbiota in human and other metazoan guts has been critical for understanding the co-evolution between metazoans and bacteria.

  4. Microbiome - Wikipedia

    In the context of genomics, the term human microbiome is sometimes used to refer to the collective genomes of resident microorganisms; [154] the term human metagenome has the same meaning. [153] Humans are colonised by many microorganisms, with approximately the same order of magnitude of non-human cells as human cells. [155]

    The Human Microbiome Project (HMP) was a United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) research initiative to improve understanding of the microbiota involved in human health and disease. Launched in 2007, [ 1 ] the first phase (HMP1) focused on identifying and characterizing human microbiota.

  6. Gut microbiota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_microbiota

    The human gut microbiota plays a crucial role in modulating the effect of the administered drugs on the human. Directly, gut microbiota can synthesize and release a series of enzymes with the capability to metabolize drugs such as microbial biotransformation of L-dopa by decarboxylase and dehydroxylase enzymes. [99]

    The oral microbiota consists of all the microorganisms that exist in the mouth. It is the second largest of the human body and made of various bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa. [ 14 ] These organisms play an important role in oral and overall health.

  8. Gut–brain axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut–brain_axis

    The composition of human gut microbiota changes over time, when the diet changes, and as overall health changes. [26] [30] In general, the average human has over 1000 species of bacteria in their gut microbiome, with Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes being the dominant phyla. Diets higher in processed foods and unnatural chemicals can negatively ...

    The gastrointestinal microbiota has a direct effect on the human body's immune responses. meaning a regular microbiota is necessary for a healthy host immune system as the body is more susceptible to infectious and non-infectious diseases.
