Researchers have revealed that an altered gut microbiota in humans is associated with symptomatic atherosclerosis and stroke. The human body contains ten times more bacterial cells than human cells, most of which are found in the gut. These bacteria contain an enormous number of genes in addition to our host genome, and are collectively known as the gut metagenome. How does the metagenome affect our health?
