Our bodies coexist with many bacteria that have become increasingly popular among researchers, especially since it is now known that there are many bacteria, fungi and viruses in the human body that benefit him more than he does.
The French daily Le Figaro says humans are no matter how clean they are. It is a group of germs. Microbiotes multiply and spread inside the intestines, on the skin, in the respiratory, polyps, and in the tissues of many of our bodies.
But these organisms - which colonize our bodies and are based on a new medical revolution - do not harm us in contrast to their counterparts of pathogenic microbes, but they provide us with important services.
Great services
In the digestive system, parasitic bacteria decompose the nutrients our food provides, disintegrate wastes, make the various chemicals our body needs, and so on.
Wherever these organisms are, they kill pathogens, not by occupying the body and producing substances that kill these unwanted competitors, but also by "teaching" our immune system.
"The turning point occurred with the advent of molecular analysis techniques," said researcher Joel Dore at the Enra Institute, who has worked for 35 years on bacteria. "The identification of these microorganisms in the past depends on the cultivation of bacteria in the laboratory, a boring method that is not particularly compatible with bacteria Intestinal that grows only in the anaerobic environment where no oxygen.
"Thanks to this new technique (molecular analysis) it is possible to describe the bacteria with great precision thanks to its DNA, making microbial knowledge leap forward.
"It was interesting at the time for the medical world of gastrointestinal diseases, but without a lot of other people involved," says Dore. However, "the search for links between microbiology and disease has gone beyond the bowel world", especially since the incidence of chronic diseases has risen rapidly since the 1950s, and does not accept that the human genome is the only suspect.
Good reputation
Therefore, the environment and its impact on the microorganisms that we are the real suspect, because we mistreat those friends who want us good, using food additives and materials converted "exhausting relationship between human and microbiotic, even if we do not know the cause," he says Cyclic.
Microbiotics have earned their reputation and have exceeded their employment or hope to employ them in the range of gastrointestinal diseases. Diabetes, obesity, liver disease and neurological and psychiatric diseases all seem to have something to do with microbiotics.
Recently, an American scientific team showed how intestinal bacteria modulate the metabolism of a drug widely used in Parkinson's disease. Other researchers at the University of British Columbia in the Journal of Microbiology explained how they succeeded in converting blood type A to " Or "O" due to enzymes derived from human microbiotics.
