The mammalian gastrointestinal (GI) tract is comprised of several hundred species of microorganisms including bacteria, archaea, fungi, bacteriophages, eukaryotic viruses, and protozoa. This complex and eclectic ecosystem is collectively known as the gut microbiota. Bacteria are by far the most abundant constituent of the microbiota; studies using DNA shotgun sequencing analysis have estimated that bacteria make up approximately 98% of all metagenomic sequences in fecal samples of various mammals ( 1 , 2 ). The GI microbiota is acquired rapidly after birth and undergoes substantial compositional changes (from a more aerobic to a predominantly anaerobic flora) in the first 1 to 2 years of life before reaching a stable and symbiotic relationship with the host ( 3 ). It then remains dynamic but relatively stable throughout adulthood unless perturbed.
