Exploring the Role of Gut Microbiota in Infectious Diseases: Implications for Therapeutic Interventions
Author(s): Juan Rodriguez*
The gut microbiota, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in maintaining host health
and immune homeostasis. Recent research has uncovered the impact of gut microbiota dysbiosis on infectious diseases, highlighting its potential
as a therapeutic target. This review aims to explore the intricate interactions between the gut microbiota and infectious diseases, focusing on the
mechanisms through which alterations in microbial composition and function influence disease outcomes. Furthermore, we discuss the therapeutic
implications of modulating the gut microbiota for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. Understanding these interactions can pave
the way for innovative therapeutic interventions that harness the potential of the gut microbiota in combating infectious diseases... Read More»
