Although new markers of gut dysbiosis appear every day, they continue to be a necessary find, since applying much more expensive studies, such as metagenomics and others, are not entirely consistent.

However, we should not disregard the clinic, as it is considered a stable instrument of medical assistance, since not all patients can afford and undergo through expensive studies. This is due to the lack of these medical practices worldwide and their tendency to stay in large research centers. Undoubtedly, making these processes more affordable is one of the priorities, in order to democratize the various genomic studies.

In this review we try to describe, even if briefly, a large number of markers, with the aim for them to be determined by users and used as excellent support in diagnosis, a crucial goal for caring for human health.
