Human-associated microbiota form and stabilize communities based on interspecies interactions. We review how these microbe-microbe and microbe-host interactions are communicated to shape communities over a human's lifespan, including periods of health and disease. Modeling and dissecting signaling in host-associated communities is crucial to understand their function and will open the door to therapies that prevent or correct microbial community dysfunction to promote health and treat disease.
与人类相关的微生物群基于种间相互作用形成并稳定群落。我们回顾了这些微生物与微生物以及微生物与宿主之间的相互作用如何在人类的整个生命周期中进行传递,从而塑造群落,包括健康和疾病时期。对宿主相关群落中的信号传导进行建模和剖析对于理解其功能至关重要,并且将为预防或纠正微生物群落功能障碍以促进健康和治疗疾病的疗法打开大门。
