Abstract:Gut flora is the largest reservoir of human flora. It is an essential factor in certain pathological disorders, including multisystem organ failure, colon cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases and extraintestinal disorders, such as allergy, asthma and even obesity. Prebiotics and probiotics are known to have a role in prevention or treatment of some diseases. Nevertheless, bacteria have been found to be useful for treating disease and thus promoting human health in a safe and natural way.
