Some perspective from a gut bacteria pro

We read across the press that in the future patients could get from their family doctor a personalized probiotic cocktail based on the analysis of their gut microbiota. Do you believe in such therapies?

“I have to admit that today I’m rather skeptical regarding this possibility. I think there’s still a lot of research efforts to be made in order to understand the physiological impact of an imbalance of the gut microbiota, the mechanisms involved.”
