Dive into the world of the gut microbiome, where bacteria and other microorganisms form competing alliances that could determine your health. New research uncovers two main “guilds” in our gut flora: one promoting fiber fermentation and butyrate, and the other associated with antibiotic resistance and virulence. By analyzing these competing forces, scientists have identified a core microbiome signature that serves as a powerful health indicator—one that could guide us toward personalized health interventions and even predict responses to immunotherapy. How does your gut’s microbiome signature stack up?
