Abstract The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that plays vital role in maintaining health and contributing to the pathogenesis of various diseases. This review proposes transformative approach involves engineering artificial microbial consortia—precisely designed communities microorganisms—for personalized modulation targeted therapeutic interventions. By integrating synthetic biology, systems advanced culturing techniques, tailored consortia can be developed perform specific functions within gut, including production molecules, immune responses, competition against pathogenic bacteria. In vitro vivo studies indicate these engineered effectively restore balance enhance host resilience. holds immense potential revolutionize healthcare by addressing root causes diseases such as metabolic disorders, inflammatory conditions, gastrointestinal infections through precise manipulation microbiome. Future research should focus on rigorous clinical trials evaluate safety, efficacy, long‐term impacts diverse populations, paving way for innovative therapies promote overall well‐being.
