“… 6 The human virome is composed of eukaryotic and prokaryotic viruses, including viruses that infect human cells, viruses that infect microbes (such as bacteria, fungi, and archaea), and plant viruses that are primarily derived from environment and diet. 7 Akin to the bacterial microbiome (bacteriome), the gut virome also plays an important role in the pathogenesis of disease, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), 8 Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), 9 obesity, 10 diabetes, SARS-CoV-2 infection, 11 , 12 liver diseases, 13 colorectal cancer (CRC), 14 as well as malnutrition. 15 Gut virome rectification has shown great potential as disease therapeutics through faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), faecal virome transplantation (FVT), and phage therapy.…”
