The goal of this Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry Microbiome Special Issue is to highlight some of the latest gut microbiota research that establishes connections between dietary-induced changes in the gut microbiota and how microbiota-diet interactions influence health and disease. To date, much research related to dietary-mediated alterations in the gut ecosystem has demonstrated associations between changes in the microbial profile with certain dietary conditions or disease states without clearly establishing a causative link. While identifying the causal role of gut microbes remains challenging, it is important to focus on physiologically relevant implications for the host. Here, we have attempted to bring together work that aims to demonstrate causation between dietary-mediated changes in gut microbiota membership and function, and specifically how these changes contribute to, prevent disturbances to or restore both local and systemic disease processes. While in many cases causation still remains elusive, the studies outlined here employ tools that move the needle, including the use of preclinical models, providing evidence of diet-induced shifts in microbial function and careful study design using human subjects, which together provide a framework for the research community to build upon. In total, we have selected 21 articles in this Special Issue which feature a link between diet, the gut microbiota and disease states including metabolic diseases, jaundice, inflammatory bowel disease and other important host processes including the gut–brain axis, as well as growth and development.
