The gut microbiome is composed of four major types of organisms: viruses, bacteria, fungi, and archea. As far as we currently know, bacteria are the majority, although this could change in the future. Bacteroides and Firmicutes comprise the bulk of bacteria, with the remaining 90% being actinobacteria, proteobacteria, and other bacteria. The general number and variety of the gut microbiome are essential to its functioning and body-symbiotic behavior.

Numerous illnesses have been linked to altered gut microbiome, including hepatitis, infectious diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the elements that disrupt and repair it so that we may apply the knowledge in our day-to-day practical lives.
