Abstract

Our knowledge regarding the interplay between drugs, our microbiome, and the host has long been restricted to a few exceptional cases. Recent evidence from more systematic studies reveals that the majority of commonly used drugs underlie such interactions. This highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the interface between pharmacology, microbial ecology, environmental factors, and the host genotype.
