Archaea, along with bacteria and eucarya are the three domains of life. These microorganisms inhabit variable natural environments but they are also important part of human physiological flora. In this paper we describe archaeal morphology and physiology. We also review the state of knowledge about archaea associated with human microbiome. The potential role of these microorganisms in etiopathogenesis of some human diseases is discussed, as well. Finally, we consider archaeal susceptibility/resistance to antimicrobial agents, including antibiotics.
古菌与细菌和真核生物一起，是生命的三个域。这些微生物栖息于各种自然环境中，但它们也是人类生理菌群的重要组成部分。在本文中，我们描述了古菌的形态和生理。我们还综述了与人类微生物组相关的古菌的知识现状。此外，还讨论了这些微生物在某些人类疾病病因学中的潜在作用。最后，我们考虑了古菌对抗菌剂（包括抗生素）的敏感性/抗性。
