Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic non-specific inflammation of the intestinal tract, and it easily relapses. The pathogenesis of IBD is not fully clear up to now. Intestinal microbiota has been confirmed to play an important role in the development and activation of the intestinal immune system. The changes of intestinal microbiota may induce or aggravate IBD, and regulating intestinal microbiota may have positive effects on the treatment of IBD. This article will discuss the relationship between intestinal microbiota and IBD.
