About This Topic
The intricate interplay between the human microbiome and the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems has garnered significant attention in recent years. Advances in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics have unveiled the complex relationships between microbial communities and health outcomes. This special issue aims to explore the latest developments in microbiome research related to respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases. By examining these two interconnected systems, we seek to enhance our understanding of the microbiome's role in health and disease.
We invite researchers from diverse disciplines to contribute their original research, reviews, and perspectives on various facets of microbiome studies in the context of respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Bacteriophages Therapy: Exploring Their Promising Role in Microbiome Modulation and Combatting Antibiotic ResistanceAbstract Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria, exhibiting specificity towards particular bacterial strains. Despite being overshadowed by traditional antibiotics in the West, interest in phage therapy has resurged due to the escalating antimicrobial resistance crisis. Understanding phage biology, selection, production, and pharma [...] |
