Abstract

  Multiple studies have demonstrated that microorganisms in the gut play a key role in maintaining the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract. They are a diverse group of organisms which share an intricate relationship with the gut and one another, thereby helping to maintain a delicate physiological balance. Changes in the internal, cellular or external environment can disrupt this balance and result in pathological changes and disease. The last decade has witnessed important developments in the understanding of the role of gut microbiota in the genesis of gastrointestinal disease. The recent pandemic has underscored their significant function. Therefore, it is vital that research in this crucial area continues.
