The microbiome is the term for the collection of microbes living symbiotically on and within the human body. Advances in next-generation sequencing and computational biology have revolutionized our ability to explore the diversity, composition, and functionality of the microbiome, shedding light on its profound influence on health and disease. From gastrointestinal and metabolic disorders to neurological and autoimmune conditions, the microbiome is increasingly recognized as a key mediator of human physiology and a potential therapeutic target.
Future directions include the integration of multi-omics data to develop systems-level understanding, the refinement of diagnostic biomarkers, and the standardization of therapeutic approaches. Ethical considerations, including equitable access and the ecological implications of microbiome interventions, will also play a crucial role in shaping the future of microbiome science. Our course, organized by ESGHAMI (ESCMID study group for host and and microbiota interactions) in collaboration with ESGNTA (ESCMID study group for non-traditional antibacterial therapy), covers several important topics in microbiome research, articulating the challenges of the field and considering the latest research trends and future perspective.
