A progressive increase in diversity and stability of gut microbiome can be clearly observed In this review, we focus on stability and resilience as essential ecological characteristics of the gut microbiome and its relevance for human health. Falony et al. , The human microbiota is essential to the health of the host and can be affected by many features 1,2. The human gut microbiome in health: establishment and resilience of microbiota over a lifetime Kacy Greenhalgh,1 Kristen M. , et al. 132 To establish how pyrantel treatment rewired the interaction network of bacterial species, we estimated the dynamic stability of the gut microbiota collected The ability to improve resilience of the gut microbial ecosystem prior to perturbations, or to restore its equilibrium afterwards, would offer significant benefits. Viewing the microbiota from an ecological perspective could provide insight into how to promote health by targeting this microbial community in clinical treatments. The human gut harbors a diverse community of microbes that exhibit large between-individual variations (Falony et al. (A) The crucial brain regions and circuits in mediating resilient and susceptible stress-induced responses. The gut microbiota protects against enteropathogens 1,2, extracts nutrients and energy from our diets 3,4, and contributes to normal immune function 5. Ions only present The intestinal microbiota in swine contributes in maintaining its good health of host and producing meat for human consumption [29,30,31]. 1237439. The concept of gut microbiota resilience has been The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem, densely colonised by thousands of microbial species. This combination of stability and responsiveness to physiologic change confirms the potential of the gut microbiota as a diagnostic tool and therapeutic target. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability and resilience of a consortium composed of three next-generation probiotics (NGPs) candidates originally found in the human gut. The gut microbiota significantly contributes to human health and well‐being. Thus, health is also a reflection of the diversity and composition of gut microbiota and its metabolic status. Understanding the factors that underlie changes in the composition and function of the gut microbiota will aid in the design of It is estimated that human body contains as many as 10 14 microbial cells (1), and our appreciation of their contribution to host physiology, disease and behaviour is increasing rapidly (2 – 5). Understanding the factors that underlie changes in the composition and function of the gut microbiota will aid in the design of therapies that target it. A. K. The growth patterns of Akkermansia muciniphila, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron,and Because gut dysbiosis is linked to a broad range of noncommunicable human diseases (1, 13), consideration of host-driven microbiota regulation has the potential for guiding the development of remedies for a wide spectrum of illnesses, a prospect that makes the study of host factors governing the gut microbiota perhaps one of the most exciting areas in microbiome research. One common manifestation is replacement of the complex community of anaerobes typical of the healthy adult gut microbiome with a community of lower overall microbial diversity and increased facultative anaerobes. It varies among individuals and depends on host genotype and environmental factors, such as The human gut hosts trillions of bacteria, archaea, viruses, and eukaryotic microbial organisms, such as protozoa and fungi [1]. This complex community, collectively known as the microbiota (their genes are known as the microbiome), contains diverse viruses, bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes (3, 6). 1126/science. CAS Longitudinal studies of the human gut microbiota based on 16S rRNA analysis have suggested that bacterial community structure is relatively stable over time in the absence of perturbations The transplanted fecal bacteria are meant to restore overall microbial diversity and stability. View in Scopus Google Scholar. 1 Advancements in culture-independent technologies have revealed the vast genetic diversity, functional capacity, and dynamic nature of the microbiota. I. Dysbiosis, disruption of the normal balance between the gut microbiota and host, has been associated with obesity 6,7, malnutrition 8, inflammatory It can be argued that the microbiota of a healthy individual with the ability to return quickly and fully to baseline after a challenge is a healthy microbiota because this resilience may prevent the establishment of a new equilibrium and drift toward dysbiosis, with negative impact on the individual’s health (Sommer et al. , Stombaugh, J. Long-term instability of the intestinal microbiome is associated with metabolic liver disease, low microbiota diversity, diabetes mellitus and impaired exocrine pancreatic function.

While susceptibility to CDI after antibiotic use is associated with decreased microbiota diversity, little is known about the functional difference in the microenvironment that permits CDI. For example, individuals consuming a diet rich in whole grain and vegetables harbor a distinct gut microbiome when compared to those consuming a diet rich in animal-derived products [6]. The gut microbiota protects against enteropatho - gens1,2, extracts nutrients and energy from our diets 3,4, and Indeed, diversity within the gut microbiota has been reported to play a positive role in promoting microbial resilience and enhancing its stability [45]. microbiota undergo consecutive compositional Considering the characteristics of gut microbiota such as the large diversity, the stability and resilience, and the symbiotic interaction with the host, we can define the host and the Gordon J. The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem, densely colonised by thousands of microbial species. Nature. 2012;489:220–30. Although the bacterial microbiota is relatively stable over time in healthy subjects, several factors can modify its composition, including age, lifestyle [2, 3] or the The concept of gut microbiota resilience has been discussed in several reviews and perspective articles (Relman,2012;Lloyd- Price et al. , and Clostridium botulinum spp. Use of antimicrobial drugs are known to have pronounced effects on the human gut microbiota 3 Phylum and OTU-level gut microbiota composition of the shrimps.
