Abstract

The human microbiome is incredibly diverse and plays an important role in human health. As more studies are done, more diseases are becoming increasingly linked to microbiome health. In this review, we discuss the microbiome from an ecological perspective, to help understand the processes of the microbiome and how we can apply ecological principles to further the advancement of medicine in this relatively new field of study. First, we go over the establishment of the microbiome and how it is influenced by environmental factors. Then we discuss the spatial dynamics of the gut microbiome and the implications if it is disturbed. Finally, we discuss current treatments for microbial related diseases, and look to how we can improve them in the future with a better understanding of the microbiome.
