Abstract in brief

  • The intestinal microbiota, also known as gut flora, plays a crucial role in human health and disease, with recent research highlighting how imbalances (dysbiosis) are linked to conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, infections, metabolic disorders, and even psychiatric issues.
  • Advances in analyzing the microbiota have shown that disruptions or specific bacterial changes are associated with a wide range of diseases, but understanding how these bacteria contribute to disease processes is still in the early stages, making it a complex and evolving field of study.
  • The article aims to summarize current knowledge on how gut bacteria influence health and disease in both animals and humans, emphasizing that our understanding of host-microbial interactions and their mechanisms remains limited but is rapidly developing.]

Antibiotics are by far the most common drugs used in children and according to the WHO they represent “one of the greatest threats to human health.” Here is a great review on the intestinal microbiota and its role in health and disease. https://t.co/Ppe91tSmZp https://t.co/nYJtMRjRpt
