The Emerging Role of Microbiome in Diagnostics

Microbiome research has started to shift its view toward different types of applications of the microbiota. In the present time, we know certain microorganisms are essential for our health, whereas some species are responsible for infections and all sorts of diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease or type-2 diabetes. Some microorganisms are known to be ineffective against cancer drugs, while others are strictly necessary to make these drugs work. Amass of all microbiota that are found on or within human tissues and biofluids along with the anatomical sites is known as the Human Microbiome.
