The microbial communities that inhabit our bodies have been increasingly linked to host physiology and pathophysiology. This microbiome, through its role in colonization resistance, influences the risk of infections after transplantation, including those caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. In addition, through both direct interactions with the host immune system and via the production of metabolites that impact local and systemic immunity, the microbiome plays an important role in the establishment of immune tolerance after transplantation, and conversely, in the development of graft-versus-host disease and graft rejection. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the evidence for the role of the microbiome in hematopoietic cell and solid organ transplant complications, drivers of microbiome shift during transplantation, and the potential of microbiome-based therapies to improve pediatric transplantation outcomes.
