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.
