The Urogenital System's Role in Diseases: A Synopsis.

ABSTRACT: The human microbiota contains ten times more microbial cells than human cells contained by the human body, constituting a larger genetic material than the human genome itself. Emerging studies have shown that these microorganisms represent a critical determinant in human health and disease, and the use of probiotic products as potential therapeutic interventions to modulate homeostasis and treat disease is being explored. The gut is a niche for the largest proportion of the human microbiota with myriad studies suggesting a strong link between the gut microbiota composition and disease development throughout the body. More specifically, there is mounting evidence on the relevance of gut microbiota dysbiosis in the development of urinary tract disease including urinary tract infections (UTIs
