For those microbes that manage to colonize the gut: • gut flora perform regular tasks of digestion, vitamin production, many others • Gene transfer between the myriad of species in the gut can generate new combinations including ones resistant to drugs “superbugs” https://i2.wp.com/thescientificparent.or g/wp‐content/uploads/2017/03/GI‐ Tract‐Small.png?fit=816%2C971&ssl=1 Why is Cultivating Important?

PNAS 2010;107:33:14691-14696 ©2010 by National Academy of Sciences Diet Influences Microbiome • Changes occur rapidly ‐ within 24 hours of eating a high fat/low fiber or low fat/high fiber diet • Changes are significant • Changes are modest • Changes only last for at least 10 days The adult gut microbiome is characterized as existing in a steady state that requires a major disturbance to permanently alter that Microbiome is strongly associated state. Short-term diet interventions may transiently alter the gut microbiome community with long‐term diet. structure, but long-term diet changes are required to shift to a new steady-state.
