human microbiota

Microbial culturomics is a new approach of biodiversity applied to human microbiota.

The human microbiome (or human microbiota) is the collection of microorganisms which live on us.

In one of these studies scientists analyze the changes of human microbiota by different alimentary changes.

Species diversity of human microbiota is unique and microbiota display unequal distribution in the digestive tract.

The human microbiota facilitates fermentation of indigestible carbohydrates to short-chain fatty acids, SCFAs, contributing to weight gain.

The NIH has been launched the Human Microbiome Project to characterize the human microbiota which includes that on the skin and the role of this microbiome in health and disease.

In other study, researchers introduce a human microbiota in gnotobiotic mice in order to compare the different changes for developing new ways to manipulate the properties of the microbiota so as to prevent or treat various diseases.

The human microbiome (or human microbiota) is the aggregate of microorganisms, a microbiome that reside on the surface and in deep layers of skin, in the saliva and oral mucosa, in the conjunctiva, and in the gastrointestinal tracts.
