Abstract

Microbiome (also called as Microbiota) is a group of trillions of different microbes having many thousands different types of species present in our body. Microbiome includes mainly bacteria but also has viruses, parasites and fungi. Microbiome is considered to be essential for the survival of the human body. Microbes are present almost throughout the body. However, these are dominant on the skin, nasal cavity, oral (buccal) cavity, reproductive tract (gonads), small and large (gut) intestine. Here, a brief discussion has been done on beneficial microbiome present on various parts of the body. Besides, a brief mention of probiotics and prebiotics has also been done.
