Track 25: Gut Microbiome and Probiotics Interaction 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition October 12–14, 2026 | Dubai, UAE & Online

Introduction

The human gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that play a crucial role in maintaining overall health. In recent years, research on the gut microbiome and its interaction with probiotics has transformed our understanding of digestive diseases and systemic health conditions.

Track 25 at the 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition will focus on groundbreaking discoveries, clinical applications, and emerging therapies involving the gut microbiome and probiotic science.

What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine that deals with the digestive system and its disorders. Specialists in this field diagnose and treat conditions affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, liver, pancreas, and related organs.

This field plays a vital role in understanding how gut bacteria influence diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), liver disorders, and metabolic conditions.

Body Parts Involved

The gut microbiome primarily resides in the:

·         Stomach

·         Small intestine

·         Large intestine (colon)

·         Rectum

However, its effects extend beyond digestion and influence the liver, immune system, brain (gut-brain axis), and metabolic pathways.

Problems Associated with Gut Microbiome Imbalance

An imbalance in gut bacteria—known as dysbiosis—can lead to several health problems:

·         Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

·         Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

·         Obesity and metabolic syndrome

·         Liver diseases

·         Autoimmune conditions

·         Mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression

Poor diet, excessive antibiotic use, stress, and infections are major contributors to microbiome disruption.

Solutions and Treatment Approaches

Understanding the interaction between probiotics and the gut microbiome has opened new therapeutic possibilities:

1. Probiotic Therapy

Live beneficial bacteria that restore microbial balance.

2. Prebiotics

Dietary fibers that nourish healthy gut bacteria.

3. Synbiotics

Combination of probiotics and prebiotics for enhanced effect.

4. Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT)

Transfer of healthy gut bacteria to restore balance in severe cases.

5. Personalized Microbiome Medicine

Using genetic and microbiome profiling to tailor treatments.

Types of Probiotics

Common probiotic strains include:

·         Lactobacillus species

·         Bifidobacterium species

·         Saccharomyces boulardii

Each strain offers different benefits, from improving digestion to enhancing immune response.

Effects of Probiotics on Health

Probiotics may help:

·         Improve digestion and nutrient absorption

·         Reduce inflammation

·         Strengthen immunity

·         Prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea

·         Support mental health through the gut-brain axis

·         Improve liver function in certain conditions

Ongoing research continues to explore their role in cancer prevention, metabolic diseases, and autoimmune disorders.

Conclusion

The interaction between the gut microbiome and probiotics represents a revolutionary shift in gastroenterology. As research advances, microbiome-based therapies are becoming central to preventive and personalized medicine.

Track 25 at the 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition will provide a global platform for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to discuss innovations, clinical trials, and future directions in microbiome science.
