Abstract

Micro-organisms are as old as human civilization and have co-evolved with human beings by inhabiting either inside or outside their body for deriving food and nutrition. Since time immemorial, these tiny animals/microbes have played a vital role in human health both in positive and negative manners. There is a close association between human health and microbial disease; however, the survival of these microbes/pathogens in the bodies of human beings gets affected in several ways, one of which is an environmental factor that immensely interferes with human–microbial interaction. Modern studies/research on micro-organisms affecting human health have become much more refined and inclusive. Therefore, in depth research should be conducted on the human–microbe interactions that may lead to understanding the role of microbiota inhuman health and disease and provide new therapeutic goals and treatment approaches in clinical practices. The present chapter has been designed to summarize the role of human health in the development of major human diseases, such as liver diseases, gastrointestinal, metabolic, respiratory, mental or psychological, and autoimmune disorders.
