The microbial cells ,including bacteria , fungi, virus and others residing within the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) are referred to as the gut microbiome. The number of these bacteria present outstand the number of host cell by a factor of 10. The human gastrointestinal system is home to over 100 trillion microorganisms. The microbiome is best understood as a virtual organ of the body. This study has been undertaken to give detailed look on human gut microbiome and its role in maintaining health which is a major subject for research today. A normal and well balance gut microbiome plays important roles in drug and nutrient metabolism ,host protection , immune system development, immune modulation , maintain gut barrier , forms the gut brain axis and so on .Various maternal and environmental factors affect development of gut flora in each individuals .Also it is to be noted that the composition of gut flora may vary within individuals. Dysbiosis is the imbalance caused to normal gut flora. The dysbiosis can give rise to various disease conditions mainly metabolic disorders. Thus comprehending the gut microbiome in individuals with good health is essential for identifying its impact on several significant gastrointestinal and nutritional disorders ,as well as for making logical connections to improve human health.
