Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The gut microbiota plays a critical role in maintaining human health. Understanding an individual’s gut microbiota can provide insights into key taxonomic groups and potential diseases associated with the gut microbiota. Analyzing the gut microbiota of a cohort can help identify the distribution and variation of microbes related to human health. Probiotics can be used to modulate the gut microbiota, and studying the composition of probiotics in different individuals can not only reveal their health status but also provide information on which probiotics have colonized their gut microbiota. Based on this information, proper prebiotics can be supplemented to support the growth of personal probiotics, and specific probiotics can be provided to enhance the colonization of individual probiotics in the gut microbiota. To provide precise recommendations for personal gut microbiota modulation, further research and development are needed in the application of microbiome and synthetic probiotics.
