Our Microbiome is composed of complex communities made up of bacteria, archaea, viruses, protozoans and fungi, that live on and in our bodies. Microbes and our human cells live in a mutually beneficial relationship (symbiosis). However, the microbiome is dynamic and prone to changes such as diet, use of antibiotics and changes in balance of the human body. Such changes affect the symbiotic relationship that exists between our body and microbiota, leading to dysbiosis or imbalance. Testing the microbiota can help diagnose if there is dysbiosis and how we can work on regaining balance. BioAro can test the oral, skin, vaginal and gut (large intestine) microbiome.
