What Is Dysbiosis? In your gut, there are trillions of microorganisms that make up your gut microbiome. Your gastrointestinal (GI) tract is home to many bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This isn’t a bad thing, though. All of these microorganisms keep yourgut healthy. When they’re out of ...
Research in this area is evolving rapidly, and it might not be long before scientists have more clarity on the gut microbiome and dysbiosis. Let’s take a look at what researchers currently do—and don’t—know about it, and how to keep your gut happy and healthy. What Is Dysbiosis and...
Dysbiosis has been identified as playing a possible role in a variety of health problems. What this role might be is not always clear. It is theorized that the balance of gut bacteria can affect the immune system and the health of the lining of the gut (increased intestinal permeability). ...
A dysbiosis is also likely to play a role in the development of IP. In support of this suggestion, Komanduri et al. demonstrated specific microbial patterns in IP [16]. Saying that although, it is important to explain what this means. It means that a microbial imbalance that exerts a net...
Is it time to target gut dysbiosis and immune dysfunction in the therapy of hepatic encephalopathy? Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol 2015;9:539-42.Shawcross, D. L. Is it time to target gut dysbiosis and immune dysfunction in the therapy of hepatic encephalopathy? Expert review of gastroenterology...
What is dysbiosis? Dysbiosis is a term used to describe a microbial imbalance or dysfunction on or inside the body, such as an impaired microbiome. It can be used to describe an imbalance in any microbial community, including those that live on your skin, in your reproductive tract, mouth,...
Thus, it is plausible that the differentially expressed metabolites between the non-cancerous and bladder cancer group might be a result of dysbiosis of urinary microbiome. What’s more, in certain bacterial and fungi, the glyoxylate cycle enables the conversion of acetate and acetyl-CoA, produced...

Steinberg, the goal when it comes to consuming fiber is diversity. “We often get stuck in a rut in terms of what we eat. When we approach gut healing, we want to aim to create a diverse ecosystem,” she says. She recommends eating diverse vegetables that provide all different types ...
In the field of SIV/HIV microbiome research, we are confronted with numerous complexities. Central to these challenges is the complex interplay between the microbiome and the immune system, especially in the context of HIV. How variable is the microbiome across and within individuals? What are the...
