ABSTRACT
Since the introduction of Archaea as new domain of life more than 40 years ago, they are no longer regarded as eccentric inhabitants of extreme ecosystems. These microorganisms are widespread in various moderate ecosystems, including eukaryotic hosts such as humans. Indeed, members of the archaeal community are now recognized as paramount constituents of human microbiome, while their definite role in disease or health is not fully elucidated and no archaeal pathogen has been reported. Here, we present a brief overview of archaea residing in and on the human body, with a specific focus on common lineages including Methanobrevibacter, Methanosphaeraand Methanomassilococcales.
