Overview
The human gut has a complex microbial ecosystem, and the deviation of intestinal microbial balance may affect the host metabolism, leading to Crohn's disease (CD). CD can affect all parts of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus. It has a discontinuous character (alternating between inflamed tissue and noninflamed sites). CD can involve any segment of the gastrointestinal tract, mainly involving the rectum, colon, and ileum regions in an asymmetric, segmental, and transmural manner. The CD is manifested as a remission and activation phase and mainly involves 20-30 years. Probiotics are among the treatments that have been tested for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases of the GI tract and are effective in treating lifestyle disorders and improving gut health. The alteration of intestinal flora is a key factor in the pathogenesis of CD. A large number of studies have confirmed that there is an important relationship between intestinal flora imbalance and postoperative recurrence of CD.
Targeted Therapy in CD
In the past two decades, the treatment of CD has expanded from glucocorticoids as the cornerstone of induction therapy to immunomodulators, nutritional therapy, biologics, and new small-molecule therapies.
Probiotics are composed of groups of living microorganisms that are thought to have health benefits. Microorganisms used as probiotics include Lactobacillus spp, Bifidobacterium spp, Streptococcus salivarius spp, yeasts, and E. coli Nissle 1917. Probiotic treatment can down-regulate the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma, and directly interfere with the activation of NF-kB. Probiotics can also secrete many active metabolites, exerting various anti-inflammatory and protective effects on cells. It is believed that the use of these metabolites overcomes the risk of infection associated with the ingestion of bacteria.
