Directions Consider the following article: Revisit gut microbiota and its impact on human health and disease Our gut microbiome has been shown to be a key modulator of human health. The organisms that are part of our normal gut microflora have been proven to be involved in many aspects of our overall health. There are more microbes in and on us than we have human cells. Not only bacteria, but fungi, viruses, and other microbes are present in and on the human body. Initial Post For your initial discussion post, research one of the major human diseases, longevity, or infant health that have been shown to be impacted by our gut microbiota and discuss the accuracy and validity of the claims. How can we best utilize this knowledge in our own lives? Can we help those we love with their health issues by helping to modify their gut microbiota? Include supportive information from at least one credible source and the reference for your source in APA format.

Which of the following situations does NOT demonstrate the importance of a healthy microbiome? Group of answer choices Anthony suffers from debilitating diarrhea after a lengthy course of antibiotics to treat his MRSA infection. Andy is lactose intolerant. His body does not break down lactose, so the microorganisms in the gut do it for him. Mary suffers from colon cancer. While being treated, she develops an opportunistic Bacteroides fragilis infection. Jenna is prone to yeast infections, so she routinely eats yogurt and takes a probiotic supplement to increase the amount of lactic acid bacteria in her vagina.
Pick a specific microbiome (i.e. skin, mouth, gut, reproductive) and discuss interesting points and how it is important to human health/diversity/etc. Here you can discuss any aspect of the microbiome that you like. Whatever is of most interest to you personally for example the uniqueness of an individual’s microbiome or disease states due to disruptions in bacterial communities, etc. Find a recent (2015 or newer) primary research article that investigates some aspect of the microbiome environment that you discussed in question 2 and discuss the findings and how it has increased our understanding of the microbiome.
What is a microbiome? What is the human microbiome and how is it important to human health? What do we know about the human microbiome in general? Provide a general introduction to these topics and make sure to emphasize the importance of the microbiome.

For some infections, a portion of infected people may never develop any signs or symptoms of disease 3. The time between the effective exposure and appearance of the very first signs or symptoms is called the incubation period 4. None of the other four answers (All are true statements) 5. All infectious diseases are communicable; i.e., they can be transmitted between hosts

Investigations of the microbiome have become an important part of research efforts in human health related research as it allows us to determine its contribution (or the role of specific constituents) in the emergence of disease. You have been tasked with evaluating the community composition of the microbiome from the oral cavity in order to determine its relevance in tooth decay. Briefly explain what approach you would take to this investigation. In your response, indicate: The relevance of assessing microbiome diversity, The technique and steps you would take as part of the methodological approach, AND What types of individuals you would need to sample in order to address this question. Hint: think about the different factors known to influence the microbiome.
