The case for microbiome stewardship: What it is and how to get there. Microbiome stewardship is the broad idea that when we think about the relevance of healthy microbiomes for public health, we need to consider ecosystem-level factors such, as environmental pollutants, built environments, industrial food processing that affect interactions between microbes and human health. Microbiomes are highly dynamic and complex systems, composed of bacteria, archaea, protozoa, fungi, and viruses; and our personal microbiomes…

Commentary published on Microbiome Stewardship! Our collaborative team of researchers (bioethicists (Kieran and Diego), bioinformaticians (Rob), host microbial ecologists (Sue and Emma), and soil microbial ecologists (Mallory), had our first co-authored paper published in mSystems! Our paper is a commentary on the concept and need for microbiome stewardship, and outlines the research and policy priorities that are the focus of our ongoing research.

Registration is open for the 2025 MSE Summit: Pathways to Microbiome Stewardship!! 2025 MSE Summit: Pathways to Microbiome Stewardship Summary of the event: Microbiome stewardship is the broad idea that we need to consider ecosystem-level factors when we think about public health, as our environment, behaviors, and public policy affects interactions between microbes and human health. Our ability to develop practices and advocate for policy reform that address societal inequities is limited without a strong microbiome stewardship framework.
