Abstract

The microbiota and its effect on health has been extensively studied over the past decade. In many studies, the term microbiota has become synonymous with the bacterial component of the microbiota. Other microbes in the microbiota, such as viruses and fungi, have been neglected until recently. This special issue provides some background on the mycobiota and explores the role of gut fungi in human diseases such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and infection by Clostridiodes difficile, and describes the incidence of fungal infections in transplant patients. The mycobiota, once overlooked, now garners increasing attention.

揭开真菌生物群的神秘面纱：人类健康的真菌前沿。

在过去十年中，人们对微生物群及其对健康的影响进行了广泛的研究。在许多研究中，微生物群一词已成为微生物群中细菌成分的同义词。微生物群中的其他微生物，如病毒和真菌，直到最近才被人们所忽视。本特刊介绍了真菌生物群的一些背景情况，探讨了肠道真菌在癌症、代谢性疾病、艰难梭菌感染等人类疾病中的作用，并介绍了移植患者真菌感染的发病率。真菌生物群曾一度被忽视，但现在却受到越来越多的关注。

期刊介绍： Biomedical Journal publishes 6 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of clinical and biomedical sciences for an internationally diverse authorship. Unlike most open access journals, which are free to readers but not authors, Biomedical Journal does not charge for subscription, submission, processing or publication of manuscripts, nor for color reproduction of photographs. Clinical studies, accounts of clinical trials, biomarker studies, and characterization of human pathogens are within the scope of the journal, as well as basic studies in model species such as Escherichia coli, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Mus musculus revealing the function of molecules, cells, and tissues relevant for human health. However, articles on other species can be published if they contribute to our understanding of basic mechanisms of biology. A highly-cited international editorial board assures timely publication of manuscripts. Reviews on recent progress in biomedical sciences are commissioned by the editors.
