| Summary: | The gut microbiota plays an integral role in carrying out digestion processes as well as having
profound health implications. Environmental factors such as the type of diet an individual consumes
dictate its composition and its impact on the host. The disruption of the gut microbiome causes
dysbiosis. Some presently considered non-communicable diseases are related to gut dysbiotic
microbiota. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in studying gut microbiota’s
person-to-person transmission and its role in health associated effects. In this review, an insight
is provided into these topics; additionally, a proposition is made to further study the effects of
factors such as cohabitation and personal diet on transmission rate speed. |
