Microbiome and diseases
The microbiome describes the microbes (such as bacteria, fungi, viruses) that live in and on our bodies. The distribution and presence of microbes can have a significant impact on health and disease. Further, alterations in the microbiome can impact how a patient will respond to treatments prescribed for diseases.
