The possibility to describe the microbiota has been a major progress of biology in the last thirty years with unexpected applications in medical research. Indeed, the diseases processes or their contributing factors behave as environmental pressures, which may influence the microbiota and dysbiotic microbial profiles seem sometimes specific enough to allow using the term of signature [1]. Hopefully, those signatures would be further validated to allow diagnosing diseases or particular situations and become part of daily clinical practice. Besides, interpretation of microbial or more generally ecological disturbances could push researchers in new directions towards discovery
