Disturbance of the gut microbiota – dysbiosis is a

condition in which the balance between beneficial gut

bacteria (such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) and

pathogenic bacteria (Klebsiella, Proteus,

Enterobacteriaceae, etc.) is disrupted.

The altered composition of the microbiota affects the intestinal

immune system. The immunity activated by gut dysbiosis triggers

a cascade of inflammatory reactions, leading to joint damage, skin

problems, kidney damage, gastrointestinal issues, and more. If the

defence response is excessive, autoimmune diseases develop.

Dysbiosis is not a disease, but it underlies many

conditions including intestinal, systemic

inflammatory, autoimmune and neuropsychiatric

disorders.

Pathogenic bacteria can be activated

when the immune system is weakened,

during frequent stress, poor diet or

exacerbations of gastrointestinal

diseases.
