The Role of the Gut Microbiome in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: The Middle East Perspective

Ahmed El-Sayed et al. J Pers Med. 2024.

Abstract

The gut microbiome is of paramount importance in preserving internal balance in the gastrointestinal tract; therefore, disruptions in its regulation have been linked to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This article explores the intricate details of the gastrointestinal microbiome as it pertains to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with an emphasis on the Middle East. The study reviews the typical gut microbiome, modifications in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), determinants impacting the gut microbiome of the Middle East, and prospective therapeutic interventions.

Keywords: Crohn’s disease; Middle East; gut microbiome; inflammatory bowel disease; ulcerative colitis.
