ABSTRACT
Within the human body there are both human cells and microorganisms present. They work together to perform the necessary functions of the body. Collectively, these organisms, cells, and environmental interactions are called the human microbiome. Applications of the Human Microbiome Project to Regulated Industries The information generated from the human microbiome project has a significant impact on pharmaceutical microbiology. The affected microorganisms are based upon the intended use of the product, the risk of the microorganism to the patient population, the patient's health, dosage, and frequency of use. Depending upon the regulated industry of use, this may be a phenotypic method or a genomic method. Many companies today have found it useful to utilize a proteonomic system due to its accuracy, high throughput, and low cost of use.
