Since the early days of the intestinal microbiota research, mouse models have been used
frequently to study the interaction of microbes with their host. However, to translate the …

Dysbiosis represents changes in composition and structure of the gut microbiome
community (microbiome), which may dictate the physiological phenotype (health or …

The human gut contains a vast array of viruses, mostly bacteriophages. The majority remain
uncharacterized, and their roles in shaping the gut microbiome and in impacting on human …

The intestinal microbiota has been implicated in insulin resistance, although evidence
regarding causality in humans is scarce. We therefore studied the effect of lean donor …

The host‐associated core microbiome was originally coined to refer to common groups of
microbes or genes that were likely to be particularly important for host biological function …

Research on the human microbiome has yielded numerous insights into health and disease,
