MICROBIOM is<\/strong> the characteristic genetic composition of micro-organisms inhabiting a definable area with distinct physical and chemical characteristics. The concept of the microbiome also refers to inhabited places called 'theatre of activity', which form specific eco-niches. Microbiomes forming dynamic and interacting micro-ecosystems<\/strong> are integrated into a single macro-ecosystem being an essential factor in its proper, healthy functioning.<\/p>\n In turn MICROBIOTA<\/strong> (including, among others. gut microbiota<\/strong>) is a composite of microorganisms belonging to different kingdoms (prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms). Their 'theatre of activity' also includes microbial structures, metabolites, phages, viruses, transposons and DNA debris embedded in a particular habitat.<\/p>\n The difference is therefore subtle, and in practice the terms are often used interchangeably.<\/p>\n The microorganisms in the gut microbiota live in a symbiotic relationship with each other. Their presence is beneficial to humans as long as they manage to maintain a homeostatic state<\/a> in the body. It is estimated that The intestinal microbiota is inhabited by<\/strong> up to approx. 1000 different species of microorganisms.<\/p>\n Historically, the gut microbiota has been referred to as the 'bacterial microflora'. Already at the end of the 20th century, it was discovered that The composition of the microbiota has an enormous impact on<\/strong> the anatomy, physiology and immunity of the host, i.e. the human being.<\/p>\n Living with us in a symbiotic relationship, the micro-organisms populating the microbiome are involved in the fight against external pathogens. By defending us and they also defend their environment<\/strong>which keeps them alive.<\/p>\n Among the so-called good bacteria also live harmful pathogens. In a healthy body, the balance between them is maintained and a functioning immune system prevents them from spreading and developing infections.<\/p>\n Unique The composition of the microbiome also influences<\/strong> mood, behaviour and the human psyche.<\/p>\n The microorganisms that populate the human microbiome have evolved over millions of years. They are an inseparable part of life on earth. The inhabitants of the microbiota have important functions in the inhibition and spread of diseases and disorders such as:<\/p>\n Microbes in the gut are involved in digestive processes. They help to metabolise complex elements from meat and vegetables. Without their participation, digestion of some complex plant sugars would be impossible. Metabolic processes within the microbiotic colony are responsible for feelings of hunger and satiety.<\/p>\n The biodiversity of the microorganisms that make up the composition of the microbiome is directly dependent on the diversity of the food provided. The more diverse the diet, the more diverse the flora.<\/p>\n At birth, the microbiome of every creature begins to be populated by bacteria from the environment. In the case of humans, bacteria begin to enter the newborn's body as it passes through the cervix. Without this, the adaptive immunity of the newborn would not exist.<\/p>\n The immune system learns to cope with pathogens over time, and the organisms arriving to populate the microbiome know exactly how to deal with the threats. By the way, they also know that the host organism is essential for their survival and development.<\/p>\n Research also indicates that too sterile an environment early in life can lead to autoimmune diseases and allergies.<\/p>\nGut microbiota - a good example<\/h2>\n
