The role of endogenous bacterial flora: bystander or the necessary prerequisite?

European journal of gastroenterology & hepatology - 1 Jun 2003

Rath Heiko C

Abstract excerpt

Abundant experimental and clinical data incriminate microbial factors in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases. Commensal bacteria, and their products, provide the constant antigenic stimulus to disequilibrate the mucosal immune system towards an overly aggressive response in a genetica...
