The gut microbiome is made of thousands of microbial species in various proportions, some helpful, some harmful. The development of means to accurately measure the composition of the gut microbiome, by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene that exhibits characteristic species-level differences, has enabled the scientific community to connect changes in the gut microbiome to aging, health, and disease. This mapping of the gut microbiome as a contributing factor in aging and age-related diseases is still in the relatively early stages, but as the field progresses we should expect to see increased interest in the development of novel, improved means to alter the gut microbiome as form of therapy.
The composition of the gut microbiome is fairly resilient to short-term changes induced by diet, present probiotic an…
