Microbiome, dysbiosis and use of probiotics in various diseases

Abstract

The community of microorganisms that colonize certain areas of the human body is called microbiota. Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses make up the microbiota. The sum of the genomes of these microorganisms and microorganisms refers to the microbiome. It has been shown that microbiota has important effects such as protecting the organ from pathogens, contributing to metabolic functions (such as vitamin synthesis, carbohydrate digestion) and providing immunoregulation. Dysbiosis refers to compositional and functional changes in the microbiota. At the beginning of the 21^st century, numerous studies have investigated the human microbiota and its imbalance in relation to various diseases and found that dysbiosis is associated with many diseases. The aim of this mini-review article is to provide brief information about dysbiosis and its care and to raise awareness.
