The human microbiome, a diverse microorganism community, crucially defends against pathogens. Probiotics, postbiotics, and paraprobiotics alone and in combination are potent in countering fungal and waterborne infections, particularly against viral threats. This review focuses on the mechanisms of the microbiome against viral infections, emphasizing probiotic interventions. Certain Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) strains effectively eliminate toxic aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) from microfungi-produced mycotoxins. LAB binding to AFB1 persists post-gastric digestion, and pre-incubation with mycotoxins reduces probiotic adhesion to mucus. Oral probiotic administration in animals increases mycotoxin excretion, reducing associated health risks. and show exceptional efficacy in removing cyanobacterial toxin microcystin-LR from drinking water. Engineered probiotics promise advanced therapeutic applications for metabolic disorders, Alzheimer's, and type 1 diabetes, serving as diagnostic tools for detecting pathogens and inflammation markers. In antimicrobial peptide production, genetically modified probiotics producing human β-defensin 2 (HBD2) treat Crohn's disease with implemented biocontainment strategies preventing unintended environmental impacts.
