The human gut microbiota, which may contain up to 1014 bacterial cells, is likely to play a major role in health and disease, influencing host physiology and the maintenance of immune homeostasis1,2. Associations between changes in gut microbiota composition

Lack of safe sanitation is attributed to the transmission of many diseases, including those caused by human excreta (fecal-oral diseases) [1]. Untreated human excreta are the main cause of environmental degradation, such as surface and groundwater contamination,
