Skin, mouth, lungs, bladder… several parts of our body are occupied by a microbiota, that is to say a set of bacteria, fungi and viruses. This is the case with our intestine, which is home to a thousand different species of micro-organisms, mainly bacteria.

What does the gut microbiota do? What happens when it’s out of balance? How to take care of it ?
