Abstract:PURPOSEProlonged saturation exposure induces digestive disorders, affecting health related life quality of divers. The diversity of the gut microbiota has been associated with various health parameters. Therefore, we hypothesized that prolonged saturation diving would result intestinal microbiota dysbiosis in human. In this case report, the feces of elite divers were collected after a saturation diving mission to examine the gut microbiome.METHODTwo elite male divers were recruited for this study.
