Bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi establish a complex ecosystem in the gut. Like other microbiota, gut mycobiota plays an indispensable role in modulating intestinal physiology. Notably, the most striking characteristics of intestinal fungi are their extraintestinal functions. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the importance of gut fungi in the regulation of intestinal, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, pancreatic, and brain functions, and we present possible opportunities for the application of gut mycobiota to alleviate/treat human diseases.

细菌、病毒、原生动物和真菌在肠道中建立了一个复杂的生态系统。与其他微生物群一样,肠道真菌群在调节肠道生理方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。值得注意的是,肠道真菌最显著的特征是它们的肠外功能。在此,我们全面综述了肠道真菌在调节肠道、肺、肝、肾、胰腺和脑功能中的重要性,并提出了应用肠道真菌群来缓解/治疗人类疾病的可能机会。视频摘要。
