ABSTRACT
Adverse intestinal microbiome profiles described as a dysbiotic gut are a complicit etiological operative factor that can progress and maintain inflammatory sequelae in the intestines. The disruption of the gut microbiome that ensues with intestinal dysbiosis is, for example, posited by decreases in the alpha-diversity of the gut microbiome, which is characterized by significant reductions in the abundance of bacterial members from the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes phyla. Proteobacteria have often been recognized as gut microbial signatures of disease. For example, this happens with observed increases in abundance of the phyla Proteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria, such as the adherent-invasive Escherichia coli strain, which has been significantly linked with maintaining inflammatory bowel diseases. Research on the administration of probiotics, often identified as gut-functional foods, has demonstrated safety, tolerability, and efficacy issues in treating inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). In this narrative review, we explore the efficacy of probiotics in treating IBDs with bacterial strain- and dose-specific characteristics and the association with multi-strain administration.
