The microbiome is the complete genetic content of all the microorganisms that typically inhabit a particular environment, especially a site on or in the body, such as the skin or the gastrointestinal tract.[1]
The Human Microbiome Project Consortium (2012) reported a remarkable diversity in the healthy human microbiome.[2]
Segre (2023) pointed out that the microbiome is "good" and contributes to human health in various ways, such as digestion of food and prevention of colonization by pathogens.[3]
Penile microbiome
Mishra et al. (2023) surveyed the microbiome and mycobiome of eleven toilet-trained pediatric patients before and after elective non-therapeutic circumcision. Circumcision amputates the foreskin and destroys the preputial sac where the microbiome is found.[4] The authors reported a "significant drop" in the bacterial and fungal population after circumcision, but did not report any change in patient health.[5]
