Overview

Mounting evidence suggests an active and complex involvement of the intestinal microbiota in common chronic disorders such as diabetes/metabolic syndrome, gastrointestinal disorders (IBS, IBD, and fatty liver disease), obesity, cancer, and even neurological conditions. It is also increasingly clear that influencing the gut microbiome has the potential to revolutionize the management of not only infectious diseases, but a broad range of other conditions. Thus, clinicians would benefit from a better appreciation of how microbial-induced inflammation and immunological reactivity may assist in identifying the origins of diseases, classifying patient subgroups, and individualizing effective treatment strategies.



Objectives

After completing this activity, participants should be better able to:


  1. Discuss evolving concepts regarding the role of the gut microbiome in gastrointestinal and liver health.
  2. Describe current research advances in understanding the composition and function of the gut microbiome.
  3. Discuss how modification of the gut microbiome can be used as a therapeutic strategy in gastrointestinal and liver health.
