Effect of intestinal microbiota on health

Abstract

Some tissues and organs of the body provide a suitable environment for the colonization of many organisms which are as whole known as the human microbiota. The gastrointestinal tract, which contains a large number of microorganisms, is one of the major examples of such a suitable environment in this context. The gut microbiota plays a key role in many situations. Among some of the situations in which it plays a role; both defense and physiological development of the host, and some events that are expressed metabolically can be counted. In general, the composition of the microbiota can be affected by some factors (such as antibiotic use, stress, lifestyle, and dietary habits). Characterization of the gastrointestinal tract from healthy individuals; strengthening the beneficial microflora, regulating the microflora, and maintaining the body functions both regularly and in a healthy way are among the therapies considered to overcome some metabolic and inflammatory disorders. In this proceeding we will discuss intestinal microbiota and its effects on the health.
