Society: AGA
Through the history of gut microbiome research, basic, translational, and clinical studies revealed many critical roles played by gut-resident bacteria in affecting human health and disease. However, due to several technical and conceptual limitations, other microbes (such as fungi and viruses) have received comparatively little attention by gut microbiome researchers. This session brings together thought leaders from the microbiome research community whose innovative research focuses on fungi and bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria), focuses on the importance of non-bacterial members of the gut microbiome, the roles they play in health and disease, and their therapeutic potential.
