The human body is host to trillions of microorganisms collectively known as the microbiota, which resides in various parts of the body such as the gut, skin, and oral cavity. The study of the human microbiota has gained significant attention in recent years, as emerging evidence suggests its crucial role in maintaining human health and influencing disease outcomes. This article aims to explore the intricate relationship between the microbiota and human health, with a focus on the implications for biomedical and pharmaceutical science. The human microbiota is composed of diverse microbial communities, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea. The gut microbiota, in particular, is the most extensively studied and plays a vital role in human health. This section can discuss the factors that influence microbiota composition, such as genetics, diet, lifestyle, and environmental exposures. Additionally, the dynamic nature of the microbiota and its susceptibility to disturbances, such as antibiotic use and chronic diseases, can be explored.
