General Objectives

• Offer a complete and wide vision of the current situation in the area of the Human Microbiota, in its widest sense, the importance of the balance of this Microbiota as a direct effect on our health, with the multiple factors that influence it positively and negatively 
• Back up with scientific evidence how nowadays a privileged position is being given to the Microbiota and its interaction with many non-digestive pathologies, of autoimmune nature or its relationship with the deregulation of the immune system, the prevention of diseases, and as support to other treatments in the daily practice of pharmacy
• Promote work strategies based on the integral approach of the patient as a reference model, not only focusing on the symptomatology of the specific pathology, but also looking at its interaction with the Microbiota and how it may be influencing it 
• Encourage professional stimulation through continuing education and research  
• Update and clarify general and key terms for a full understanding of the subject such as Microbiome, Metagenomics, Microbiota, Symbiosis, Dysbiosis   
• Study the microbial communities that coexist in symbiosis with humans, learning more about their structure and functions, and how these communities can be altered due to factors such as diet, lifestyle, etc.   
• Delve into the knowledge of the Intestinal Microbiota as the main axis of the Human Microbiota and its interrelation with the rest of the body, its study methods, and its applications in clinical practice to maintain a good state of health 
• Understand the relationship between intestinal pathologies: SIBO, irritable bowel syndrome IBS, Crohn's disease, etc., and intestinal dysbiosis  
• Learn how to manage the different intestinal infections caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi modulating the altered Intestinal Microbiota 
• Delve into the bidirectional relationship between Microbiota and Neuroimmunological System and study in depth the intestine-microbiota-brain axis and all the pathologies that are generated in its imbalance
