A consensus or society position rather than new primary data.
This is a comprehensive narrative review synthesizing microbiome research across gastrointestinal, metabolic, neurological, cardiovascular, autoimmune, and oncological disorders, emphasizing links to precision medicine. The review evaluates microbiome-based therapies including probiotics, prebiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and engineered microbial strategies, and examines how microbiomes modulate drug absorption, metabolism, and efficacy.
Journal article. Clinicians, researchers, and life-science professionals seeking comprehensive overview of microbiome dynamics in health and disease.

The human microbiome, comprising trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea, represents an essential partner in human biology rather than a passive collection of microbes. These microbial communities inhabit diverse niches, including the gut, skin, oral cavity, respiratory tract, and urogenital system, where they contribute to digestion, vitamin biosynthesis, immune development, and regulation of host metabolism. Their dynamic interactions form a complex ecosystem that profoundly shapes health across the lifespan. However, with ever increasing reports on the microbiome including perceived health benefits, diagnostic use, detrimental species and immune modulation, we synthesize findings from multiple biomedical fields for this review. It first describes beneficial functions of commensal microbes in maintaining immune tolerance and metabolic balance, then analyzes the effect of diet, geography and medication exposure, the consequences of dysbiosis in gastrointestinal, metabolic, neurological, cardiovascular, autoimmune, and oncological disorders. The article examines the functional potency of the gut microbiome, keystone taxa as well as disease-stage-specific and general dynamics, how microbiomes modulate drug absorption, metabolism, and efficacy, thereby influencing individualized responses to therapy. Furthermore, it evaluates therapeutic approaches, including probiotics, prebiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and engineered microbial strategies that seek to restore microbial equilibrium. The significance of this review lies in its integrative perspective, as it links microbiome research to precision medicine, emphasizing that safeguarding microbial diversity is crucial for prevention, early diagnosis, and the personalization of future medical interventions.
