What is MetaBiom?
MetaBiom is an independent knowledge portal that explores the possible relationship between **chronic diseases** and the **microbiome**.
Our main goal is to offer healthcare professionals, including medical experts, researchers, students, and patients, a new perspective on preventing, diagnosing, and treating these diseases.
MetaBiom is not a journal but a platform for disseminating and integrating important evidence, clues, and associations between the microbiome and chronic diseases in a meaningful way.
MetaBiom does not rate its sources. All content should be critically evaluated, considering the sources of information, the authors' expertise, and potential biases
MetaBiom contains the following elements:
- - Evidence: Published, open-source abstracts and references that demonstrate possible links between diseases, microbiota, metabolites, and various factors.
- - Condition: Chronic health disorders or healthy states associated with a specific microbiota diversity, metabolite, or factor.
- - Microbiota: Potential microbiota whose abundance compared to a normal healthy state and location within the host could contribute to certain disease states or symptoms. They are defined by class, order, family, genus, species, or even strains
- - Metabolite: Substances used by the microbiota (**prebiome**), produced by the microbiota (**postbiome**), or used against the microbiota (**antibiome**), which could directly lead to a specific disease process or indirectly act as an adjuvant to other disease-related mechanisms. MetaBiom considers not only the potential health benefits of these specific prebiomes, postbiomes, and antibiomes but also their possible hazards.
*The terms **prebiome**, **antibiome**, and **postbiome** are used here temporarily until officially approved or replaced by upcoming terminology.* - - Factor: Conditions that can alter the absolute or relative abundance of microbiota and metabolites, potentially predisposing an individual to a disease or symptom variation.
