Special Issue: The Human Microbiome in Health and Disease

The human microbiome is a diverse consortium of bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, and viruses that inhabit many parts of the human body. These consortia have been implicated in a range of vital physiological processes including energy homeostasis, metabolism, gut epithelial health, immunologic activity and neurobehavioral development. This Special Issue contains articles describing microbiota of different regions, including the oral cavity, the gut and the vagina as well as their implications on cancer, immunity and the brain. Moreover, treatment options are discussed such as microbiome transplantation or probotic therapy. In addition, articles about special microbiota, including the human virome or the infant microbiome are also part of this Special Issue.
