What is it about?

In this article we discuss the impact of microbiota on metabolic, physiological and immunological pathways involving autoimmune, gut and liver related diseases. We also discuss the application of fecal microbiome transplantation (FMT) for the treatment of multiple chronic gut associated inflammatory diseases such as Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The potential role of human migration across continents and cultures leading to alteration in their microbiome and its implication in health and disease is also discussed.
