Abstract in brief

The human gut microbiota, mainly consisting of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, is crucial for overall health, influencing nutrient metabolism, immune function, gut barrier integrity, and protection against pathogens.
The composition of gut bacteria evolves from birth, starting off varied in infants and becoming more adult-like by age 3, with influences from delivery method, diet, and antibiotic use.
Advances in genome sequencing have helped scientists understand how these microorganisms interact with the host, but factors like antibiotics can cause long-term changes and potentially lead to antibiotic resistance.
