Introduction
By Nikola Kovacova
The gut microbiota is classified as a collection of all microbial organisms within the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).[1] With trillions of microorganisms inhabiting the microbiota, its collective genome is believed to encode 100 times more genes than the human genome.[2]
