Abstract

The human microbiome is the collection of all of the genes in all of the microbes in and on our bodies. Recently, the more appropriate term is "microbiota". There are numerous and complex relationships between the microbiome and our immune system. It is also becoming clear that if there is a disruption or disorganization in the microbiome community an inflammatory disease can occur.
