I talk a lot about synergy and synchronicity to my clients, because everything has to work In harmony in order to bring about homeostasis.
The human microbiome is no exception and although all of our microbiomes have the ability to cross communicate, the gut microbiome has recieved the most attention. Dysbiosis (leaky gut) is finally becoming recognised as a disruptor of human homeostasis.
The gut microbiota supports the functioning of many organs, including the lungs, kidneys, liver, heart and brain.
This researcher looked specifically at the gut/kidney axis and it turns out a special bacteria called oxalobacter formigenes can turn on and off SLC transporters to control oxalate absorption and secretion across the gut wall AND then determine how the SLC transporters in the kidney behave - how amazing is that? And that’s just one microbe!
Any disruption to microbiota homeostasis results in the malfunctioning of specifically affected organs, and the progression of many related diseases.
This review has some great information on gut microbiome communication. It is important to not focus solely on the gut because all microbiomes matter.

Take a look at the infographics on the internet. They help give a picture of very complex things illustrated in simple ways.
