Abstract

Constant accumulation of our knowledge over the past few decades has established gut microflora as an essential part of the human body. A balanced gut flora helps its host to thrive, while an imbalanced gut flora can lead to many acute (e.g., diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramp) and chronic disorders (e.g., obesity, diabetes, cancer). Several approaches such as a healthy diet, fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), and bacteriophage therapy are being applied to improve intestinal dysbiosis. These strategies have improved the complications, but the long-term consequences are yet to discover. If the knowledge gap between the complex interaction among the human body, immune system, pathogens, and the gut microflora is explored completely, it will contribute to the remedy of many complicated diseases.
