Core Tip	Gut microbiota (GM) serves as a multifaceted tool in healthcare, acting as a potential biomarker, diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic entity. While dysbiosis is linked to various diseases, harnessing microbiome's diagnostic potential introduces challenges due to its variability and complex identification techniques. As a prognostic tool, GM provides insights into an individual's health status and disease risks, influencing treatment outcomes. Moreover, it emerges as a therapeutic pathway, with interventions such as prebiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation showing promise. Despite growing recognition, its integration into clinical practice remains limited, necessitating increased research, educational initiatives, and collaborations, to unlock the full potential of GM in advancing patient care.
