Gut Microbiota beyond Bacteria—Mycobiome, Virome, Archaeome, and Eukaryotic Parasites in IBD

Abstract: The human microbiota is a diverse microbial ecosystem associated with many beneficial physiological functions as well as numerous disease etiologies. Dominated by bacteria, the microbiota also includes commensal populations of fungi, viruses, archaea, and protists. Unlike bacterial microbiota, which was extensively studied in the past two decades, these non-bacterial microorganisms, their functional roles, and their interaction with one another or with host immune system have not been as widely explored.

“…When investigating the mycobiome one has to be aware of the limitations of analytic methods. Differences in DNA extraction methods, the lack of consensus primer pairs, diverging sequencing techniques, different software packages, and the lack of a complete database for taxonomic assignment make studies different to compare [ 232 , 233 , 234 ]. Fungi are said to play an important role in the homeostasis of the gut microbiome and in immunity [ 235 , 236 ].…”

“…Similar to the other components of the microbiota, the virome is large and diverse, stabilized in adulthood, and highly personalized, inhabiting different parts of the body, mainly the mucosal surfaces [32] , [33] . However, the intestine can be considered as the main residence of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic human virome [34] .…”

“…Blastocystis is a cosmopolitan intestinal protozoan parasite that infects a wide range of mammalian and non-mammalian hosts via fecal-oral route. B. hominis is one of the most commonly reported protozoa in human fecal samples worldwide (Lepczyńska et al 2017;Matijašić et al 2020). Up till now, its pathogenic potential is a matter of controversy.…”

“…Up till now, its pathogenic potential is a matter of controversy. Some authors embrace the view that Blastocystis is better regarded as a part of the commensal flora of the gut, whereas others implicate the parasite in various colonic disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and, more importantly, inflammatory bowel diseases (Matijašić et al 2020). The impact of Blastocystis upon the colon is thought to be mediated largely via its interaction with gut microbiota (Lepczyńska et al 2017).…”
