The human microbiome is the population of more than 100 trillion microorganisms that live in our gut, mouth, skin and elsewhere in our bodies. These microbial communities have numerous beneficial functions relevant to supporting life. They are needed to digest food, to prevent disease-causing bacteria from invading the body, and to synthesize essential nutrients and vitamins.

Record 3 2014-09-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bowels
CONT

The intestinal microbes are taxonomically complex and constitute an ecologically dynamic community (microbiota) that has long been believed to possess a strong impact on human physiology. Furthermore, they are heavily involved in the maturation and proliferation of human intestinal cells, helping to maintain their homeostasis and can be causative of various diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease and obesity ... Through metagenomic analysis, it is now possible to comprehensively explore the genetic nature of the intestinal microbiome, the mutually interacting system comprising the host cells and the residing microbial community.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intestins
CONT

Le microbiome intestinal est impliqué dans l’homéostasie et le fonctionnement du système immunitaire local. Un équilibre entre le microbiome intestinal et les mécanismes de défense est retrouvé normalement dans l’intestin des individus sains.
