Microbial Fingerprints Research

The human gastrointestinal tract is colonized by a dense population of microbes that outnumber host cells 10-fold, and outnumber host genes more than 100-fold, the gigantic microbial communities we host can identify us as individuals much like a fingerprint – research shows at least half of these genes appear to be unique to each individual. Commensal microbes in the gastrointestinal tract engage in all kinds of physiological processes including maintaining homeostasis and pathogenesis through direct interactions or through secreted molecules that gain access to the systemic circulation. Interpreting the microbial fingerprints will magnificently facilitate the disease and health studies, and the development of precise treatment method for specific cases.

Microbial fingerprinting technologies are used to provide an overall view of the microbial community, indications of microbial diversity, and insight into the types of metabolic processes occurring in the gastrointestinal tract. The research focused on mapping the structure of the microbiota could help to determine microbiota composition and whether and how the presence of a given species might link to pathogenesis, while deeper research looking at the gut microbiota metagenome would show that the understanding of how and whether individual microbial genes affect disease risk is even more significant. Profiling the unique genes that make up an individual’s microbiome could act as a form of microbial fingerprinting that provides valuable clues for pathological investigation and precise therapeutic schemes.
