Abstract

The microbe is small in volume, but large in quantity and species. The symbiotic microbe, which is far more than human cells, code millions times of genes than human being. Somatic cells and these symbiotic microbe distributing in human body skin, respiratory tract, oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract and other parts form a complex ecosystem whose dynamic balance is highly related to body health. With the successful implementation of Human Microbiome Project, more attentions have been paid to the next generation microbiome technologies. New tools and methods for ecological regulation of human microbiome are emerging. The way we improve the world of human microbiology will be more convenient. This paper will make a review on the modulation techniques of human microbiome.

人体共生微生物数量远超过人体自身细胞数量,其编码基因数量甚至是人类的数百倍。人体可以看做是微生物与自身细胞共同形成的复杂生态系统。这些分布在人体皮肤、呼吸道、口腔、胃肠道、泌尿生殖道等部位的微生物群落之间的动态平衡与人体健康息息相关。随着各国人体微生物研究计划的先后开展,引发了新一轮微生物组技术研究和开发的热潮。人体微生物群落生态调节的新工具、新方法和新技术正在大量出现,改善人体微生态和预防感染性疾病的手段将变得更加丰富。本文就目前已有的微生态调节技术在人类感染性疾病预防中的研究进展作一综述。.

Keywords: ecological prevention; human microbiome; infectious diseases; microecological regulation technology.
