The intricate ecosystem of microorganisms residing within and on the human body, collectively known as the microbiome, significantly influences human health. Imbalances in this microbiome, referred to as dysbiosis, have been associated with various diseases, prompting the exploration of novel therapeutic approaches. Personalized medicine, Tailors treatments to individual patient characteristics, offers a promising avenue for addressing microbiome-related health issues. This review highlights recent developments in utilizing personalized medicine to target the microbiome, aiming to enhance health outcomes. Noteworthy strategies include fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), where healthy donor microbes are transferred to patients, showing promise in treating conditions such as recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. Additionally, probiotics, which are live microorganisms similar to beneficial gut inhabitants, and prebiotics, non-digestible compounds promoting microbial growth, are emerging as tools to restore microbiome balance. The integration of these approaches, known as synbiotics, enhances microbial colonization and therapeutic effects. Advances in metagenomics and sequencing technologies provide the means to understand individual microbiome profiles, enabling tailored interventions. This paper aims to present the latest insights in leveraging personalized medicine to address microbiome-related health concerns, envisioning a future where microbiome-based therapies reshape disease management and promote human health.
人体内和体表寄居的微生物组成的复杂生态系统,通常被称为微生物组,对人类健康有着重要影响。该微生物组的失衡,即生态失调,与各种疾病有关,这促使人们探索新的治疗方法。个性化医疗根据个体患者的特点定制治疗方案,为解决与微生物组相关的健康问题提供了一个有前途的途径。本综述强调了利用个性化医疗靶向微生物组以提高健康结果的最新进展。值得注意的策略包括粪便微生物群移植(FMT),即将健康供体微生物转移给患者,在治疗复发性艰难梭菌感染等疾病方面显示出前景。此外,益生菌是类似于有益肠道居民的活体微生物,而益生元是促进微生物生长的不可消化化合物,它们正成为恢复微生物组平衡的工具。这些方法的结合,称为合生元,增强了微生物定植和治疗效果。宏基因组学和测序技术的进步为了解个体微生物组谱提供了手段,从而实现了针对性干预。本文旨在介绍利用个性化医疗解决与微生物组相关的健康问题的最新见解,展望基于微生物组的疗法将重塑疾病管理并促进人类健康的未来。
