Our intestines host trillions of bacteria, most of which are beneficial to our health most of the time. Occasionally, however, a change in conditions, or the entry of a pathogenic strain, leads to disease.

A hundred trillion single-celled organisms, representing some 400 bacterial species, inhabit the adult human gut, out-populating the cells in your body by a factor of ten. Nonetheless, it might comfort you to know that in exchange for room ...
متن کاملMicrobes, immunoregulation, and the gut.
Two distinct, but rapidly converging, areas of research (the hygiene hypothesis and the study of probiotic/prebiotic effects) have emphasised the need to understand, and ultimately to manipulate, our physiological interactions with commensal flora, and with other transient but harmless organisms from the environment that affect immunoregulatory circuits. The story began with allergic disorders ...

In developing countries, diarrheal disease is the second-leading cause of death in children (second only to pneumonia), particularly in children younger th...
متن کاملFirst Foods and Gut Microbes
The establishment of the human gut microbiota in early life has been associated with later health and disease. During the 1st months after birth, the microbial composition in the gut is known to be affected by the mode of delivery, use of antibiotics, geographical location and type of feeding (breast/formula). Consequently, the neonatal period and early infancy has attracted much attention. How...
