This research examines how different types of microorganisms – including bacteria, fungi, and parasites – interact with each other within the human body and other organisms. These interactions are crucial for maintaining health and can influence disease development. The study highlights how modern DNA sequencing technologies have improved our understanding of these complex relationships. Impacts on everyday life: – Understanding these interactions helps develop better probiotics and treatments for gut-related diseases – Knowledge of microbial relationships can improve strategies for maintaining healthy gut flora – This research aids in developing more effective treatments for parasitic and fungal infections – The findings help explain how diet and lifestyle choices affect our microbiome – This work contributes to better understanding how antibiotics affect overall gut health
