Since the beginning of the 21(st) century, a new discipline, microbiome science, has emerged as a key part of microbiology and related biomedical and ecological sciences. Microbiome science uses highly advanced molecular genetic and bioinformatic methods to study complex microbial communities. Unlike isolated microbes, microbial communities shaped by the environment, referred to as microbial consortia or microbiomes, follow their own laws that allow for significant functional specialization. The synthesis of multimethodology and multidisciplinary data enables microbiome science to move towards a holistic picture of the microbiome in an exceptionally effective way, but on the other hand, it burdens the field with terminological ambiguity of the key terms, which consequently need to be clearly codified in accordance with the international trends in the use of technical nomenclature. To this end, we present in our article the official position of the Czech Microbiome Society of the J. E. Purkyne Czech Medical Society on the use of appropriate Czech terms in both professional and general communication.
