Uždegiminės žarnų ligos ir mikrobiomas: literatūros apžvalga apie gydymo strategijas keičiančias žarnyno mikrobiotą pacientams sergantiems uždegiminėmis žarnyno ligomis.

This report is a summative review of research literature pertaining to the therapeutic strategies in treating gut Microbiota in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Intestinal Microbiota has demonstrated some role in treating IBD and in pathogenesis. There are two debatable theories on this subject. The first one advocates a causal relationship with dysbiosis as a cause for IBD. The second theory states that a decrease in Microbiota diversity (dysbiosis) is a secondary phenomenon caused due to intestinal inflammation. Moreover, therapeutic treatments in correcting deficient microbial diversity through the use of antibiotics, probiotics and Faecal Microbiota transplantation (FMT) is studied and evaluated in detail for its merits and demerits. This review concludes that antibiotics and probiotics have their minor role in specific IBD situations, and FMT can be beneficial and promising in treating IBD, despite its limitations which call for further controls and standardisation
