Exploring Gut Microbiota−mediated Metabolism of Pharmaceuticals for Personalized Drug Responses

Abstract

Tarek Porro*

The human gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in drug metabolism, impacting drug efficacy and safety. This article delves into the burgeoning field of gut microbiota-mediated drug metabolism and its implications for personalized medicine. We explore the mechanisms underlying microbiotamediated transformations of pharmaceuticals, their influence on drug bioavailability, and their potential to modulate individual drug responses. By elucidating the interplay between gut microbes and drugs, we uncover new avenues for tailoring drug therapies to individual patients, ultimately enhancing treatment outcomes.
