The microbiome is a community of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that inhabit our bodies. These microorganisms can be found in various parts of the body, particularly on the skin, in the mouth, and in the gut. Bacteria make up the largest portion of the human microbiome.

Although microorganisms are ubiquitous and coexist with humans to mutual benefit, they often go unnoticed in our daily lives. Many of these microorganisms play important roles in the body, including digestion, vitamin production, and support of the immune system in the gut. However, some microorganisms can contribute to health problems.

In recent years, it has been repeatedly shown that changes in the composition of the microbiome can pose potential health risks. To date, scientific research has mainly focused on changes
in the bacterial community within the microbiome.

Some of the bacteria in the gut are permanently resident and contribute to nutrient absorption and protection against harmful bacteria, while others may enter the gut through external influences and
disrupt the balance of the microbiome.

The microbiome is unique to each individual and varies according to diet and health status. Changes in the microbiome have been associated with many health issues. In the following, we provide insights into the balance of your microbiome compared to a reference population of healthy adults, as well as information about bacteria in your gut that may potentially lead to health impairments. Over 1800 groups of bacteria in your microbiome will be analysed.
