ROLE OF MICROBIOTA IN HUMAN LIFE AND THE PROSPECTS FOR THE PREVENTIVE USE OF PROBIOTICS

Abstract

The concept of pro- and prebiotic therapy finds both its followers and opponents. However, there is no doubt that there is a close connection between the microbiota of the various epitopes of our organism and the functioning of its individual organs and systems, as well as of the body as a whole. The accumulated amount of reliable data on the functioning of the microbiocenosis of the human organism makes it possible to see them as key points of influence on human health, not only in the treatment of existing diseases, but also in terms of primary and secondary prevention of a wide range of infectious, metabolic, immune-mediated and other diseases. In the near future, scientists would need to identify the indications, find effective probiotic strains, determine optimal one-time and daily doses, duration of the therapy, and criteria for effectiveness of the therapeutic and/or preventative measures.
