Human microbiome and drinking water microbiome - parallels and relationships

The development of modern biological and molecular biological methods made it possible to look at natural or technical ecosystems in a broader context. Therefore, it is possible to study not only a single microorganism but also the entire group of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts) present in a certain ecosystem (e.g. in water, soil, or human gut), the so called microbiome, and also how different microbiomes influence each other and whether they are similar in their composition. The aim of this paper is to summarize the knowledge about the drinking water microbiome and intestinal microbiome and to find possible parallels and relationships between these two systems. Finally, the issue whether new global approaches could be used for monitoring drinking water or reclaimed water quality is discussed.

Keywords: water microbiome, intestinal microbiome, drinking water, reclaimed water
