1. What are some of the possible future benefits of studies of the human microbiome? 2. What factor most affects the vaginal microbial community at the onset of puberty? 3. When a child is transitioned from breast milk to solid food, what are the associated changes in the gut microbial community and what physiological differences do those changes reflect? 4. Why might a therapy based on colonization of the skin by selected Propionibacterium strains be effective in preventing the development of acne?

Please select true statements about the microbiome from the options below (please select all correct responses): - It exists due to an agreement millions of years ago between our bodies and the microbial environment we are surrounded by. - In exchange for shelter and food, the microbiome works for us. - Delivery via the birth canal helps the microbiome get started in infants and helps with immune function. - It takes until age two for a person's microbiome to be ready to protect against illness. - There are special sugars within breast milk that nourish the developing microbiome - these elements are not digestible by the baby, but are perfect for the microbiome. - The food we eat changes the composition of our microbiome. - Antibiotics can be very harmful to our microbiome. - The relationship we have with our microbiome is symbiotic. - All of our neurotransmitters are produced in the gut/microbiome.
