Did you know that the gut microbiome is associated with many diseases, including depression? The bacteria in the gut influence a number of systems in the body including the immune system and gut-brain axis. In this application, users can browse through information collected from scientific publications about the gut microbiome and its effect on the body and overall health. As new findings are emerging, it is important to stay connected research about commensal bacteria, pathogenic bacteria, community perturbations, and other topics.

Key topics discussed include:
* Gut microbiome- associated statistics
* Key gut bacterial community members
* Diseases associated with gut bacteria
* The changing dynamics of the gut after perturbations such as administration antibiotics
* The relationship between gut bacteria and the brain through the gut- brain axis
* Complex interactions that occur between the gut and host immune system
* Mathematical models used to predict gut behavior
* Management strategies for enriching, augmenting, eliminating, and controlling bacteria in the gut
* Chips for high- throughput detection of gut microbes
* Mechanisms by which bacteria communicate with the host
* Vocabulary used in gut microbiome studies
