Infectious diseases are caused by bacteria, fungus, viruses, and other microorganisms. Biomolecules such as proteins, DNA, and/or RNA play a crucial role in the infections of these disorders.

Recent advances in the understanding of microbiota in health and diseases are presented in this special issue of Frontiers in Immunology and Frontiers in Microbiology as well as their impact on the immune system that can lead to the development of pathologies. Potential perspectives and biomarkers are also addressed. We offer this Research Topic involving 64 articles and 501 authors to discuss recent advances regarding: 1. An overview of the human microbiota and its capacity to interact with the human immune system and metabolic processes, 2. New developments in understanding the immune system’s strategies to respond to infections and escape strategies used by pathogens to counteract such responses, 3. The link between the microbiota and pathology in terms of autoimmunity, allergy, cancers and other diseases.
