GlossaryGut Microbiota

diverse community of microorganisms in the digestive tract

Gut microbiota, also known as gut flora or intestinal microbiota, refers to the diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes, that inhabit the digestive tracts of humans and other animals. These microorganisms play a crucial role in digestion, immune function, and overall health by breaking down complex carbohydrates, synthesizing vitamins, and protecting against harmful pathogens.
