The gut flora as a forgotten organ [PDF]

EMBO reports, 2006
The intestinal microflora is a positive health asset that crucially influences the normal structural and functional development of the mucosal immune system. Mucosal immune responses to resident intestinal microflora require precise control and an immunosensory capacity for distinguishing commensal from pathogenic bacteria.

Gut commensal flora: tolerance and homeostasis [PDF]

F1000 Biology Reports, 2009
Commensal microorganisms are not ignored by the intestinal immune system. Recent evidence shows that commensals actively participate in maintaining intestinal immune homeostasis by interacting with intestinal epithelial cells and delivering tolerogenic signals that are transmitted to the underlying cells of the immune system.

Human Gut Flora

American Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2020
Background: The intestinal microflora is a complex ecosystem. An improved understanding of this hidden organ will reveal secrets that are relevant to human health and to several infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic disease processes. Given the ability of the immune response to rapidly counter infectious agents, it is striking that such a large ...

Probiotics as modulators of the gut flora [PDF]

British Journal of Nutrition, 2002
Probiotic ingestion can be recommended as a preventative approach to maintaining the balance of the intestinal microflora and thereby enhance ‘well-being’. Research into the use of probiotic intervention in specific illnesses and disorders has identified certain patient populations that may benefit from the approach.
