Mucosa microbiome of gastric lesions: Fungi and bacteria interactions.

ABSTRACT

Many components of the gastric non-Helicobacter pylori microbiota have been identified recently thanks to advances in DNA sequencing techniques. Several lines of evidence support the hypothesis that the gastric microbiome is essential for gastric disorders such as gastric cancer. Microbial interactions impact the pathophysiology of various gastric disorders. This chapter provides an overview of recent findings regarding general gastric microbial community profiling, microbial interactions in the stomach, and microbial characteristics in various gastric disorders.
