Trillions of microbes have evolved with and continue to live on within human beings. A variety environmental factors can affect intestinal microbial imbalance, which has a close relationship health disease. Here, we focus the interactions between microbiota host in order provide an overview role basic biological processes development progression major diseases such as infectious diseases, liver gastrointestinal cancers, metabolic respiratory mental or psychological autoimmune diseases. We also review important advances techniques associated research, DNA sequencing, metabonomics, proteomics combined computation-based bioinformatics. Current research become much more sophisticated comprehensive. Therefore, propose that should host-microbe interaction cause-effect mechanisms, could pave way understanding gut disease, new therapeutic targets treatment approaches clinical practice.
