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.
