Abstract

Introduction: Fungi are part of the microorganisms that are found in humans and interact with bacteria, viruses and archaeas. The balance inter and intra-species is important to maintain health in humans. Most studies on mycobiota have been related to disease states caused by fungi, the exploration of commensal communities in healthy individuals being relevant. Methods: literature search in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Google Scholar, using the terms: mycobiome, intestinal fungi, skin mycobiome, vaginal mycobiome, fungal microbiome. Articles from 1996 to 2020, review and research results in all languages were included in this review. Results: Variability in fungal communities is determinated according to body site characteristics and the contact with the environment. Health status in humans can be influenced by fungal density and diversity, unlike sick individuals where there is evidence of a decrease in diversity and that is associated with the opportunism of pathogens.
