What is the Role of the Microbiome in Enterococcal Infections and Cancer?
The human microbiome, particularly the gut microbiome, plays a significant role in the overall health and immune function of individuals. Dysbiosis, or an imbalance in the microbiome, can contribute to both cancer progression and susceptibility to infections, including those caused by Enterococcus. Research is ongoing to explore the potential of microbiome modulation as a therapeutic strategy to enhance immune function and reduce infection risk in cancer patients.
