Microbiote, les fabuleux pouvoirs du ventre

Lurking in the depths of our guts, 100,000 billion microorganisms contribute to the health of the organism that shelters them. These bacteria, phages and fungi are transmitted at birth and constitute the microbiota, or intestinal flora. Long unknown, this microbiota is gradually revealing its secrets and mobilizing thousands of researchers around the world. It gives hope for a scientific revolution. Not only are the microbes that make up the microbiota essential to our well-being, but they are also opening up a new therapeutic field: the transfer of human excrement is proving effective in the treatment of certain intestinal pathologies.
