Gut microbiata: underestimated or exaggerated?

Abstract

Human gastrointestinal tract contains a large diversity of commensal microorganisms, which is many times more than the human living cells. In the last decade, we had enormous number of research on the association with diseases and gut microbiota composition. There is a clear increase in the number of pathological conditions associated with dysbiosis in time. Also, the range of diseases are increased and distributed to many disciplines, non-gastrointestinal diseases are also increasingly reported.  Gut microbiota has multiple functions and new applications for diagnosis and therapeutics of diseases. Probiotics are widely used in health and disease states. Probably further high quality scientific research will determine the exact place of microbiota and probiotics in human health in the future.

Bağırsak mikrobiyotası: küçümsenmiş mi, abartılı mı?

Abstract

İnsan gastrointestinal sistemi, tüm insan hücrelerinee göre çok daha fazla sayıda ve büyük bir çeşitlilikteki komensal mikroorganizmaları içerir. Son on yılda, bağırsak mikrobiyotasının içeriği ve hastalıkların ilişkisi üzerine çok fazla sayıda araştırma yaptık. Zaman içinde disbiyoz ile ilişkili patolojik durumların sayısında belirgin bir artış olmuştur. Ayrıca, bu hastalıkların yelpazesi daha da genişlemiş ve birçok disipline dağılmıştır. Gastrointestinal hastalıklar dışındakiler giderek daha fazla rapor edilir olmuştur. Bağırsak mikrobiyatası birçok fonksiyona sahip olmanın yanında hastalıkların tanı ve tedavisi için da birçok yeni uygulamaya sahiptir. Probiyotikler, hastalık ve sağlıkta yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Yüksek kaliteli bilimsel araştırmalar, gelecekte, mikrobiyota ve probiyotiklerin insan sağlığı üzerindeki gerçek yerini belirleyecektir.
