人类微生物研究与公共卫生：社会、伦理视角的考虑

梦缘徽州

当前微生态研究主要关注个体健康，本文从社会、伦理的角度论证其对公共健康的影响同样巨大。基于微生态研究的干预措施对群体肠道微生物的影响需要评估，本文提出“微生物监管责任”的概念及将改变微生物变成一项“公共卫生干预措施”的远期风险是未知的。微生物研究的转化还需要公众的认知信任与支持。

Title:

The Human Microbiome and Public Health: Social and Ethical Considerations

DOI:

10.2105/AJPH.2015.302989

Abstract:

Rapid advances in human microbiome research point to an increasing range of health outcomes related to the composition of an individual's microbiome. To date, much research has focused on individual health, with a paucity of attention to public health implications. This is a critical oversight owing to the potentially shared nature of the human microbiome across communities and vertical and horizontal mechanisms for transferring microbiomes among humans. We explored some key ethical and social implications of human microbiome research for public health. We focused on (1) insights from microbiome research about damage to individual and shared microbiomes from prevalent societal practices, and (2) ethical and social implications of novel technologies developed on the basis of emerging microbiome science.

昨晚把刚收到的《消失的微生物》看了一半，写的真好，没有想到微生物在人体内扮演着这么重要的角色，千万年的相处，与人体之间达到了双面共生的局面。现在的不和谐相处，导致了各种疾病的发生。

最近内地有学者刚发了一篇菌粪移植伦理问题的文章~从五个方面讨论菌粪移植带来的伦理问题：1. 知情同意和病人的脆弱性；2. 如何定义“合适的健康供体”；3. 安全性和风险问题；4.商业化和潜在的剥削；5.与公共卫生的关系。题目是《Ethical Issues in Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Practice》有兴趣的可以看看~国内比较少这方面的

焚膏继晷

谢谢分享，从不同的角度解读微生物！
