Figure 1 Healthy or equilibrium state of the gut microbiome is characterized by a high microbial diversity, which favors functional diversity and microbe-microbe and host-microbe interactions.
When perturbation of this ecosystem occurs the microbe composition may shift to an alternative healthy state that differs from the initial state but maintains the same functionality.
