Discover Bacteria
Discover Bacteria is an open access journal publishing research from all fields relevant to bacteriology.
The human microbiome, particularly the bacterial component, has emerged as a key player in shaping human health and disease. Recent research has unveiled the intricate interactions between the bacterial microbiome and various physiological processes, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for improving human health outcomes. This Collection seeks to consolidate the latest advancements in bacterial microbiome research to provide a comprehensive understanding of its impact on human health. The primary goal of this Collection is to showcase the most recent discoveries and breakthroughs in bacterial microbiome research and their implications for human health. By disseminating novel findings and insights, we aim to contribute to the development of targeted interventions, personalized medicine approaches, and preventive strategies that leverage the bacterial microbiome for promoting human health and well-being.
Sub-topics of expected manuscripts may include but are not limited to the following: 1) Role of the gut microbiota in metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. 2) Impact of the skin microbiome on dermatological conditions and immune responses. 3) Interactions between the oral microbiome and systemic health outcomes. 4) Influence of the vaginal microbiota on women's reproductive health. 5) Therapeutic potential of probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics in modulating the bacterial microbiome. 6) Microbiome-host interactions in inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, and mental health disorders. 7) Novel methodologies and technologies for studying the bacterial microbiome in human health.
Keywords: bacterial microbiome, human health, physiology, disease, metabolites, biomarkers
