L’établissement d’un microbiote sain, caractérisé par une grande diversité d’espèces de bactéries, requiert typiquement un régime riche en fibres végétales et pauvre en graisses et protéines animales. Les glucides complexes (polysaccharides) non digestibles sont métabolisés par le microbiote du gros intestin et fermentés pour produire une vaste gamme de composés et favoriser la formation d’une épaisse couche de mucus protecteur. La production microbienne d’acides gras à chaîne courte (SCFA) fournit une source d’énergie supplémentaire aux cellules intestinales (colonocytes) et provoque une diminution du pH qui favorise la croissance d’espèces bénéfiques. 1, record 1, French, - microbiote%20du%20gros%20intestin

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) re-establishes a balanced intestinal flora with resultant cure of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (RCDI). FMT has also been used to treat other gastrointestinal (GI) diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and chronic constipation and a variety of non-GI disorders. 8, record 3, English, - fecal%20microbiota%20transplantation
