Reviewer:  Robert Mkuye
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript titled “Impact of Microplastics on the Human Gut Microbiome: A Systematic
Review of Microbial Composition, Diversity, and Metabolic Disruptions” is a systematic review
focusing on the effects of microplastics (MPs) on the human gut microbiome, particularly on
microbial composition, diversity, and metabolic functions. The revisions made in the manuscript
address reviewers’ observations and suggestions to a satisfactory level. Limitations, particularly
geographic scope and study design heterogeneity, do not diminish the review’s value and
contribution.
