Abstract

Human gut comprises of a huge mixture of microorganisms as they had co-existed for millions of years. The change in co-existence of microbial genera leads to dysbiosis, which creates several disorders in humans. Diet and diet associated agents can have a considerable influence on host health by regulating the gut microbiome, which can thereby maintain the homeostasis of the gut. Analysis of the gut microbiome and the agents that can have an influence on the gut need a profound understanding, which is the need of the hour. The current review therefore focuses on the influence of diet and dietary nanoparticles on the gut microbiota and their positive or adverse effect.

Keywords: Diet; Dysbiosis; Gut; Host; Nanoparticles.
