MARTINEZ-CABRERA, Ileana; SIERRA-GONZALEZ, Victoriano Gustavo y FAJARDO-DIAZ, Esther María. Microbiota intestinal y su relación con agentes oportunistas vinculados a las epidemias. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2021, vol.55, n.3, pp.319-345. ISSN 0325-2957.
Silent epidemics associated with stress and unhealthy eating habits are as important as traditional epidemics related to poverty, geographical and climate problems. Many studies incorporate the important role of a stable pattern of gut microbiota that favours the human health status and therefore, its possible implication in incidence and prevalence of diseases that can become epidemics. In this review, the current state-of-art is analysed in terms of relationship between demographic, geographic, environmental factors, and habits with the gut microbiota pattern and the onset of epidemics of microbial, metabolic and immunological origin. The internationally promoted initiative for the creation of metagenomic platforms contributing to studies of the gut microbiota pattern for the epidemiological monitoring and prevention of epidemic diseases associated with its alteration is fostered, as well as the design of rapid and economic methods to complement these studies.
