What Role Does Research Play in Understanding Dysbiosis in Toxicology?
Research is crucial in elucidating the complex interactions between the gut microbiota and xenobiotics. Current research efforts focus on understanding the mechanisms of microbiome-mediated metabolism of toxins and drugs, identifying specific microbial taxa involved in these processes, and developing biomarkers for dysbiosis. Advances in metagenomics and metabolomics are instrumental in these studies, providing insights into the microbial composition and metabolic capabilities.
