Abstract

The gut microbiota acts as a real organ. The symbiotic interactions between the living microorganisms and the digestive tract contribute greatly to maintaining gut homeostasis. However, alterations to the microbiota caused by environmental changes (e.g., infection, diet, and/or lifestyle) can disturb this relationship, altering the healthy status and promoting disease, such as different types of inflammatory bowel diseases and cancer. Regarding the latter, it is noteworthy that it is already proven that this alteration in microbiota is implicated in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer (CRC).
