The genome of bacteriophages residing in the gut in Type-2 diabetes patients have been shown to contain numerous genes implicated in disease development. [6] Total phage representation in the virome is higher in individuals with Cardiovascular disease than healthy controls, totaling 63% and 18% respectively. [6]
Human infectious diseases may be characterized by their case fatality rate (CFR), the proportion of people diagnosed with a disease who die from it (cf. mortality rate).It should not be confused with the infection fatality rate (IFR), the estimated proportion of people infected by a disease-causing agent, including asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections, who die from the disease.
The human virome is not stable and may change over time. In fact, new viruses are discovered constantly. [7] [17] [18] With an increasing number of known viruses, diagnosis and treatment of novel viral-associated conditions will become easier as well. [19] [20] Studying the virome could help improve drug development and limit antibiotic usage ...

Auto-brewery syndrome (ABS) (also known as gut fermentation syndrome, endogenous ethanol fermentation or drunkenness disease) is a condition characterized by the fermentation of ingested carbohydrates in the gastrointestinal tract of the body caused by bacteria or fungi. [1]
Human microbiota are microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea) found in a specific environment. They can be found in the stomach, intestines, skin, genitals and other parts of the body. [ 1 ]
In the 2000s, the Rohwer lab sequenced viromes from seawater, [9] [10] marine sediments, [11] adult human stool, [12] infant human stool, [13] soil, [14] and blood. [15] This group also performed the first RNA virome with collaborators from the Genomic Institute of Singapore. [ 16 ]
Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is an uncommon cause of chronic gastrointestinal bleeding or iron deficiency anemia. [1] [2] The condition is associated with dilated small blood vessels in the gastric antrum, which is a distal part of the stomach. [1]
