Recent advances in nanotechnology have led to the increased use of nanoparticles (NPs) in various industries. Although several studies have been focused on the toxicological effects and potential risks of NPs, their possible impacts as well as long-term effects on human microbiota are still poorly understood due to the limited number of studies. The type of consumer products in which different NPs are added and their routes of entry into the human body play a critical role in their effects on the human microbiota. In our daily life, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most frequently encountered nanomaterials within the food, medical, and personal care products which can interact especially with skin and gut microbiota. Besides, titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) used for tooth whitening agents can influence the oral microbiota and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) used in personal care …
