The human body is host to a vast array of microbiomes, which are communities of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea, that reside on and within our bodies. These microbiomes play crucial roles in maintaining health and influencing disease. The primary human microbiomes are located in the gut, skin, oral cavity, respiratory tract, and urogenital tract. Each of these microbiomes is unique in its microbial composition and function:
Each of these microbiomes interacts with the body in a complex relationship, contributing to health when in balance and potentially leading to disease when dysbiosis, or microbial imbalance, occurs. Research into human microbiomes is rapidly advancing, revealing the intricate ways in which microorganisms contribute to health, disease, and the functioning of the human body.
