The human gut is populated with as many as 100 trillion cells, whose collective genome, the
microbiome, is a reflection of evolutionary selection pressures acting at the level of the host
and at the level of the microbial cell. The ecological rules that govern the shape of microbial
diversity in the gut apply to mutualists and pathogens alike.
