Abstract

Microbiome is the community of commensal, symbiotic and pathogenic microorganism that share our human body space. Intestinal microbiota has a defensive role in human health, it is implicated in metabolic and nutritional processes and plays an important role in the pathophysiology of several diseases. In recent years special attention has been paid to investigations targeting the changes of intestinal microbiome in various gastrointestinal disorders including inflammatory bowel disease, infectious colitis and celiac disease (CD). The aim of our present review is to summarize the role of the microbiome in CD and the changes of its composition in the intestine of patients suffering from CD.
