specific microbial species might
lead to more successful results.
Fecal transplants deliver stool
samples from healthy donors
to ill patients to change the
microbiome
in
the
patient’s
digestive
tract,
according
to
Johns
Hopkins
Medicine.
Currently, this procedure is used
to treat recurrent inflammation
in the large intestine caused
by a bacterial species called
Clostridium difficile.
“This
idea
of
giving
a
community of microbes, I think,
makes a lot of sense when thinking
about other applications,” Yong
said. “One of the most successful
attempts involve exactly that …
(Fecal transplant) is quite like an
ecosystem transplant.”
Gilbert
emphasized
the
importance of microbiomes in
a medical setting, saying that
studying
the
microbiome
in
individual patients is necessary for
precision medicine, in addition to
studying the human genome.
“Why doesn’t genetics give us
the whole answer?” Gilbert said.
“Because we need the human
genome … but we need microbial
genome as well.”
Gilbert further discussed how
manipulating the microbiome can
be useful for treating and curing
many human diseases, such as
allergies. Gilbert discussed, for
instance, Amish children, who
grow up on farms and usually do
not develop asthma or allergies
due to their exposure to certain
microbes during their youth.
Gilbert also discussed other
health issues such as obesity
and cancer from a microbiome
perspective,
mentioning
that
changing the microbiome can be
an approach to fight such health
crises.
“We are now working very
exclusively to find way to use
the microbiome ... to make the
immune system fight cancer,”
Gilbert said. “There are many
ways we can harbor microbiome
therapies for treating diseases.”
LSA sophomore John Hartert
said he attended the session
and a couple of talks during the
day because he is interested
in microbial ecology. Hartert
particularly found the ubiquitous
and impactful nature of the
microbiome interesting.
“I was really interested in
how expansive the effects of the
microbiome is,” Hartert said.
