    Abstract Our perception of microbes has considerably changed since the recognition of their pathogenic potential in the 19th century. The discovery of antibiotics and their subsequent widespread adoption have substantially altered the landscape of medicine, providing us with treatment options for many infectious diseases and enabling the deployment of previously risky interventions (eg, surgical procedures and chemotherapy), while also leading to the rise of AMR. The latter is commonly viewed as the predominant downside of antibiotic use. However, with the increasing recognition that all metazoan organisms rely on a community of microbes (the microbiota) for normal development and for most physiologic processes, the negative impacts of antibiotic use now extend well beyond AMR. Using the iceberg as a metaphor, we argue that the effects of antibiotics on AMR represent the tip of the iceberg, with much greater repercussions stemming from their role in the rise of so-called noncommunicable diseases (including obesity, diabetes, allergic and autoimmune diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, and certain cancers). We highlight some of the emerging science around the intersection of the microbiome, antibiotic use, and health (including biological costs and future therapeutic avenues), and we advocate a more nuanced approach in evaluating the impacts of proposed antibiotic use, especially in the setting of preexposure and postexposure prophylaxis.

    Abstract Existing genomic sequencing data can be used to study host-microbiome ecosystems, however distinguishing signals originating from truly present microbes versus contaminating species and artifacts is a substantial and often prohibitive challenge. Here we show that emerging sequencing technologies definitely capture reads from present microbes. We developed SAHMI, a computational resource to identify truly present microbial nucleic acids and filter contaminants and spurious false-positive taxonomic assignments from standard transcriptomic sequencing of mammalian tissues. In benchmark studies, SAHMI correctly identifies known microbial infections present in diverse tissues, and we validate SAHMI's enrichment for correctly classified, truly present species using multiple orthogonal computational experiments. The application of SAHMI to single-cell and spatial genomic data thus enables co-detection of somatic cells and microorganisms and joint analysis of host-microbiome ecosystems.

    Abstract The evolutionary fate of humans is intimately linked with that of our microbiome. Medical and technological advances have caused large-scale changes in the composition and maturation of human-associated microbial communities, increasing our susceptibility to infectious and developmental diseases. Restoration of the human microbiome must become a priority for biomedicine.

    Abstract At a rapid pace, biologists are learning the many ways in which resident microbes influence, and sometimes even control, their hosts to shape both health and disease. Understanding the biochemistry behind these interactions promises to reveal completely novel and targeted ways of counteracting disease processes. However, in our protocols and publications, we continue to describe these new results using a language that originated in a completely different context. This language developed when microbial interactions with hosts were perceived to be primarily pathogenic, as threats that had to be vanquished. Biomedicine had one dominating thought: winning this war against microorganisms. Today, we know that beyond their defensive roles, host tissues, especially epithelia, are vital to ensuring association with the normal microbiota, the communities of microbes that persistently live with the host. Thus, we need to adopt a language that better encompasses the newly appreciated importance of host-microbiota associations. We also need a language that frames the onset and progression of pathogenic conditions within the context of the normal microbiota. Such a reimagined lexicon should make it clear, from the very nature of its words, that microorganisms are primarily vital to our health, and only more rarely the cause of disease. This article is part of the theme issue 'Sculpting the microbiome: how host factors determine and respond to microbial colonization'.

    Abstract In recent decades, the incidence of many apparently unrelated chronic diseases has markedly increased. Here, I theorize that losses of particular bacterial species of our ancestral microbiota have altered the context in which immunological, metabolic and cognitive development occur in early life, which results in increased disease. This ominous trend suggests that we must refocus efforts to understand and reverse the underlying circumstances that are responsible for our disappearing microbiota.
