Introduction The human body contains trillions of resident bacteria that make up the gut microbiome. These bacteria establish a symbiotic relationship with the host cells and the immune system. Imbalance of the gut microbiota, or dysbiosis, is associated with a number of diseases including Clostridium difficile infection (C. diff), autoimmune diseases, diabetes, obesity, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an emerging therapy used to treat gut microbiome

Kombucha has been around for many years, but lately, it has become more popular. What is the truth about Kombucha? Is it healthy for you, or is it just another health fad, that does not really help you? In an article entitled, “There’s Bad News for Hipsters Who Swear by Kombucha,” by Tove Danovich, multiple studies on the role of microbiota in the gut, and kombucha are combined to determine whether Kombucha is an elixir of health, or if it is another health fad. Danovich writes on why Kombucha is

hospital setting. This bacterium is found in hospitals across the globe and is responsible for increased hospital stay lengths and increased mortality rate. C-Diff can be ingested and not cause diarrhea because of the protection of the body’s normal flora. When a patient is put on antibiotics, the body’s healthy bacteria is then removed which leaves room for C-Diff to grow and infect the patient. This paper will briefly discuss what Clostridium Difficile is, how it is transferred, and what nursing

all our of tissues, we typically think of them in terms of gut flora. Part of the reason for this is that the gut flora vastly outnumber the microbes elsewhere in the body and are also much more diverse than average. Another reason is that many of the flora found in the gut are known to be involved in how we digest our food. Compared to our understanding of most microbiota living on and in humans, our understanding of our gut flora is relatively well developed. It is also an area where it is "common

The beneficial aspects of Bifidobacterium Probiotics are live microorganisms that live in the body and regulate the proper functioning of organism; in adequate amounts help maintain our well-being. This is about two kilograms of bacteria, which are responsible for protecting our body against pathogenic bacteria. One of many bacterial strains found in human body is bifidobacterium, which has a great impact on health of digestive and immune system. Bifidobacterium does interact with intestinal mucosal

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The emergence of new pathogens from food and water, particularly bacteria, as well as the recurrence of known food pathogens, has received research attention in Nutrition and Food Science. The unusual dietary pattern and nutrition affect the microbial population in the human gut (Probiotic), with an ample effect on the immune system and human health. To understand the interactions of gut microflora with food and nutrients, and their potential involvement in disease etiology

Introduction Escherichia Coli, located in one of the main organs known as the large intestine, is a type of bacteria that helps digestion. (Trzepacz, Timmons, and Duobinis-Gray, 2016) For Escherichia Coli to remain stable and alive, it needs specific necessities. These needs are known as the following: Energy, vitamins, and similar compounds. Escherichia Coli is found everywhere! Escherichia Coli, or E. Coli, can also form a number of these substances itself with the use of energy. (Shiloach
