Microbiota and diseases
Track 05: Microbiota and diseases
In many complex diseases it is observed that commensal Microbiota composition is altered. Here are just some of the health conditions that involve our microbes.
- Antibiotic-associated diarrhea
- Autoimmune diseases
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Gastric ulcers
- Inflammatory bowel diseases
- Obesity
Our new understanding may lead to more focused and effective treatments. Unlike modern antibiotics, which kill good microbes along with the bad, new drugs may kill only harmful bacteria while leaving the friendly ones alone. Others may nurture friendly bacteria, helping them out compete the harmful ones.
