“…For example, M. smithii was reported in the vagina only in patients suffering from vaginosis, but was absent in healthy individuals 119,120 . Moreover, M. smithii was found in individuals with muscle abscesses 104 , pneumonia 121 and urinary tract infections 122 , and, together with M. oralis, in patients with refractory sinusitis 123 . M. oralis was also reported in brain abscesses 111,124 , and has been associated with periodontitis 110,125 or peri-implantitis 126 .…”

Host-associated microbial communities have an important role in shaping the health and fitness of plants and animals. Most studies have focused on the bacterial, fungal or viral community, but have often neglected the archaeal component. The archaeal community, the so-called archaeome, is now growingly recognized as an important component of host-associated microbiomes. It is composed of various lineages, including mainly Methanobacteriales and Methanomassiliicoccales (Euryarchaeota), as well as representatives of the Thaumarchaeota. Host-archaeome interactions were mostly delineated from methanogenic archaea in the gastrointestinal tracts, where they contribute to substantial methane production, and are potentially also involved in disease-relevant processes. In this Review, we discuss the diversity and potential role of archaea associated with protists, plants and animals. We also present our current understanding of the archaeome in humans, the specific adaptations involved in interaction with the resident community as well as the host, and its role in health and disease.
