The gut microbiota, a complex and diverse ecosystem, comprises at least 1013 to 1014 microbial cells. This microbiome represents genetic material more than 100 times the size of the human genome, and is called the ‘‘metagenome’’. State-of-the-art metagenomic technologies have revealed that the most abundant gut bacteria are members of the phyla Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. 1 Over the past decade, the intestinal microbiota have increasingly been recognized as a critical factor in the pathogenesis of both nonalcoholic and alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD and ALD, respectively) in rodents and humans. This article provides a brief overview of the gut microbiota and corresponding fecal metabolomics in NAFLD and ALD.
