GUT MICROBIOTA, BACTERIA, AND DISEASE
Gut microbiota is engaged in the progress
or prevention of a variety of diseases from bone and joint
related issues to scoliosis, pain, and aging related issues. Research
about the gut microbiome grows in support that it influences
the immune system and inflammation that often precedes
bone and joint diseases related to aging: osteoporosis,
osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcopenia and frailty. (1) The gut
microbiomome and bacteria affected pain severity perception
in one report of chronic pain patients who
experienced low back, leg, and whole body pain. (2) An interesting cause of scoliosis involves the human
gastrointestinal tract. The gut microbiota influences musculoskeletal diseases like arthritis and osteoporosis,
but now modifications of the gut microbiome in
patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is discovered.
The structure of the gut microbiota is different between AIS
and healthy research study groups. The
genera prevotella, gelria, and desulfovibrio were enriched in
the feces of AIS patients. Contrastingly, the abundance of parasutterella, tyzzerella, and phascolarctobacterium was decreased
in the AIS group. Recognizing these gut microbiota discrepancies
can help doctors diagnose AIS and establish choices for the patients to modify
their gut microbiota. (3) Such intestinal bacterial alterations
are present in other human diseases, as well, like type
2 diabetes, fatty liver, and malignancy such as colorectal cancer, breast
cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis,
sarcopenia, atherosclerotic stroke and cardiovascular disease are major
diseases linked to decreased activities of
daily living, particularly in elderly people.
Recent analyses found the significance
of gut microbiota in the regulation of these diseases. (4) Orchard Park, NY
