Biomedical research is a broad scientific field that seeks ways to prevent and treat diseases that cause disease and death in humans and animals. Biomedical researchers use biotechnology techniques to study biological processes and diseases with the ultimate goal of developing effective treatments and cures.
Microorganisms are diverse and very widely distributed. They can cause most diseases in humans and animals and are also the source of medicines to treat these diseases. Trillions of microbes live in every human body and their interactions affect human health.
Therefore, the study of human microorganisms is an important part of biomedical research.
Gut Flora Research
Gut microbiota are microorganisms such as bacteria and archaea that inhabit the digestive tracts of vertebrates, including humans, and insects. Alternate terms are intestinal flora and intestinal microbiota. In humans, the gut is the primary site of the human microbiota. The gut microbiota has broad implications, including colonization, pathogen resistance, maintenance of the intestinal epithelium, metabolism of dietary and pharmaceutical compounds, regulation of immune function, and even behavioral impact through the gut-brain axis.

 Causing Human Diseases |
| Changes in the microbiota early in life appear to be important for the subsequent development of many inflammatory diseases. In many of these diseases, the treatment paradigm shifts, at least in part, from immunosuppression and pharmacotherapy to treatments that reconstitute or restore the integrity of the microbiota. These treatments include dietary changes, specific microbial manipulations, and transplantation of fecal microbiota. | Gut bacteria are an important part of the human gut microbiota ecosystem. Gut bacteria play important roles in human health, such as providing essential nutrients, synthesizing vitamin K, assisting in cellulose digestion, and promoting angiogenesis and enteric nerve function. | The gut microbiota has emerged as a central factor in the pathogenesis of many gastrointestinal and liver diseases. Epidemiological and experimental studies in animals and humans have implicated this microbial community in the contemporary global epidemics of inflammatory bowel disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, obesity and metabolic syndrome. |
Skin Flora Research
Skin flora, also called skin microbiota, refers to microbiota that reside on the skin, typically human skin. Many of them are bacteria of which there are around 1,000 species upon human skin from nineteen phyla. Most are found in the superficial layers of the epidermis and the upper parts of hair follicles.

 Condition-causing Diseases |
| Skin flora is usually non-pathogenic and either commensal (does no harm to the host) or reciprocal (beneficial). Among the benefits that bacteria can provide are that by competing for nutrients, secreting chemicals against them, and by stimulating the skin's immune system, temporary pathogenic organisms can be brought into contact with the skin. | Specific conditions, such as epidermal trauma, ulcers, and other conditions, where resident microorganisms can cause skin diseases. The germs create life-threatening diseases by entering the blood system, especially in immunosuppression individuals. |
