Dysbiosis of the gut mucosa-associated microbiota (MAM) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). To date, dysbiosis only describes the altered composition of the different bacterial populations, but little is known about transcriptional activity, metabolism and the 'live' status of the MAM.
