World Microbiome Day aims to showcase the vibrant and diverse worlds of microbiomes, and to encourage public dialogue on their critical importance to human, animal and environmental health. We encourage microbiome researchers from around the world, working on different microbial worlds to join us and spread the message of the importance of microbiomes.
What is the function of the human microbiome? Humans have microbiomes in a variety of different locations that are in contact with the outside world e.g. skin, mouth, vagina, lung and the gastrointestinal tract. This gut microbiome carries out many essential functions for the host such as: helping digestion and synthesis of essential nutrients, immune system development, preventing infections, modulator of the chronic diseases.
