The two most important bacterial phyla in the gastrointestinal tract, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, have gained much attention recent years. Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio is widely accepted to an influence maintaining normal intestinal homeostasis. Increased or decreased F/B regarded as dysbiosis, whereby former usually observed with obesity, latter inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Probiotics live microorganisms can confer health benefits host when administered adequate amounts. There considerable evidence of their nutritional immunosuppressive properties including reports that elucidate association probiotics ratio, IBD.

Obesity is a major risk factor for developing gallstone disease (GSD). Previous studies have shown that obesity associated with an elevated Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in the gut microbiota. These findings suggest development of GSD may be related to dysbiosis. This review presents and summarizes recent on microbiota patients GSD.

The gut microbiome is a heterogeneous population of microbes comprising viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Such essential for sustaining host equilibrium, its impact on human health can be altered by variety factors such as external variables, social behavior, age, nutrition, genetics. Gut microbes’ imbalances are related to chronic diseases including cancer, obesity, digestive disorders. Globally, recent findings show that intestinal have significant role in the formation cardiovascular disease (CVD), which still primary cause fatalities.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a currently incurable neurogenerative disorder and typically characterized by progressive movement (including chorea), cognitive deficits (culminating in dementia), psychiatric abnormalities (the most common of which depression), peripheral symptoms gastrointestinal dysfunction). There are no approved disease‐modifying therapies available for HD, with death usually occurring approximately 10–25 years after onset, but some hold promising potential. HD subjects often burdened chronic diarrhea, constipation, esophageal gastric inflammation, susceptibility to diabetes. Our understanding the microbiota–gut–brain axis its infancy growing evidence from preclinical clinical studies suggests role gut microbial population imbalance (gut dysbiosis) pathophysiology. The brain can communicate through enteric nervous system, immune vagus nerve, microbiota‐derived‐metabolites including short‐chain fatty acids, bile branched‐chain amino acids. This review summarizes supporting demonstrating alterations bacterial fungal composition that may be associated HD. We focus on mechanisms dysbiosis compromise health, thus triggering neuroinflammatory responses, further highlight outcomes attempts modulate microbiota as therapeutic strategies Ultimately, we discuss dearth data need more longitudinal translational this nascent field. suggest future directions improve our association between microbes pathogenesis other ‘brain body disorders’.
