Changes in the microbiota are associated with disease susceptibility, immune system development, and responses to treatment. Refocusing research to elucidate the causal links between the human microbiota and infectious and immune-mediated diseases will be critical to harnessing its power to prevent, diagnose, and treat such diseases.
微生物组的变化与疾病易感性、免疫系统发育以及对治疗的反应有关。重新聚焦研究,阐明人类微生物组与感染和免疫介导性疾病之间的因果关系,对于利用其预防、诊断和治疗此类疾病的力量至关重要。
