EnteroBiotix - Human Gut Microbiome
Both inside and out, the human body harbours ecosystems of micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea. These microorganisms, their genomic potential and their collective repertoire of activity are known as ‘the microbiome’.
A large body of research has reveled that the gut microbiome plays an integral role in our overall health and wellbeing
Disruptions to microbiome structure and function have been linked to a myriad of diseases and conditions. The microbiome has also been linked to how patients respond to certain drugs, including cancer immuno-therapies. With the microbiome linked to so many conditions, modulation of the microbiome offers an exciting and largely unexplored therapeutic avenue.
One of the best established and most powerful means to modulate the microbiome is through intestinal microbiota transfer (IMT) - a term used to describe the movement of a healthy microorganisms from one person into another.
