Human Microbiota: What is it?

It is the set of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) that reside in the human body.

Humans have at least the same number of bacterial cells as their own cells in our bodies, with a ratio of microbial cells to human cells of 1.3 vs. 1. Bacteria are found in all parts of the body, although they are particularly abundant in the skin and the digestive tract. In fact, approximately 1-2 kg of an adult individual’s body weight corresponds to bacteria cohabiting with them.

Alteration of the intestinal microbiota

DYSBIOSIS (also called DISBACTERIOSIS) is the microbial imbalance of the normal microbiota, due to quantitative or qualitative changes in its composition, changes in its functioning or metabolic activities, or changes in its distribution. It can be due to a multitude of factors: diet, age, antibiotic treatment, stress, genetics, diseases…

In recent years, there has been an explosion of knowledge about the relationship between dysbiosis and a multitude of diseases, and research is underway on the possible mechanisms by which the microbiota can affect the origin and evolution of certain pathologies, especially those of multifactorial origin.

Probiotics: What are they?

Probiotics are live organisms that when administered in sufficient quantities, have beneficial effects on health.

Probiotics are naturally present in certain foods (especially in fermented foods like yogurt), although they can also be incorporated into the diet in the form of dietary supplements.

Recent studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of probiotic use, so they can lead to an update in the treatment of several diseases, as an adjunct dietary supplement.

The mechanism of action by which probiotics act is through:

modulation of the composition of the intestinal microbiota
maintenance of intestinal barrier integrity
prevention of bacterial translocation
modulation of the local immune response by the intestine-associated immune system.

Among the bacterial species used as probiotics, those belonging to the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium stand out, as well as some yeasts such as Saccharomyces boulardii or Kluyveromyces marxianus. However, the specific effects of probiotics depend on the species and the specific microbial strain and the dose administered.
