The recent explosive increase in the number of works on gut microbiota has been accompanied by the spread of rather vague or improper definitions, chosen more for common use than for experimental evidence. Among them are those defining the human gut microbiota as an organ of our body or as a commensal. But, is the human gut microbiota an organ or a commensal? Here, we address this issue to spearhead a reflection on the real roles of the human gut microbiota in our life. Actually, the misuse of the vocabulary used to describe the properties and functions of the gut microbiota may generate confusion and cause misunderstandings both in the scientific community and among the general public.

人类肠道微生物群既不是器官也不是共生体

最近肠道微生物群研究数量的爆炸式增长伴随着相当模糊或不正确的定义的传播,更多地选择用于普通用途而不是实验证据。其中包括将人类肠道微生物群定义为我们身体的器官或共生体。但是,人类肠道微生物群是器官还是共生体?在这里,我们解决这个问题,带头反思人类肠道微生物群在我们生活中的真实作用。实际上,滥用用于描述肠道微生物群特性和功能的词汇可能会在科学界和公众中引起混淆和误解。
