Brief Summary:
Large numbers of micro-organisms especially bacteria live in and on human bodies and have a very important function for the health These microorganisms are called the microbiota They aid in the digestion of food ensure the production of certain vitamins and are very important for the development and regulation of the immune system In many diseases including Crohns disease arthritis obesity diabetes and cancer a disruption of microbial composition is observed There are indications that a disruption of the microbiome can contribute to the development of inflammatory diseases and cancer but the underlying processes are not sufficiently understood To understand the mechanisms underlying these disease processes fundamental research is conducted at Ghent University Stool skin oral and vaginal samples from various origins are examined eg from people from indigenous tribes with a traditional lifestyle It is important that these samples can be compared with microbiome samples from healthy Western West-European controls In this study the investigators want to build up a collection of samples from healthy donors between the ages of 2 and 70 with the exception of vaginal samples collected from women between the ages of 18 and 45 The samples will form the basis for further fundamental and functional research into microbiota-host interactions at Ghent University
