Bacteria and the gastrointestinal tract

Pathogenic bacteria are a threat for food safety and immune- compromised consumers, but benigne food inherent bacteria my be essential for colonisation of the GI tract and for human health.

Food chain, colonisation of the GI tract, probiotics and antibiotic resistances

To avoid the need of antibiotics in food production new strategies will be necessary, including the colonisationof the GI tract with beneficial bacteria (probiotic and prebiotic approaches and improved knowledge of receptors and binding) and vaccination.

The need to consider genetic, epigenetic , microbiota nutrition, lifestyle and the enviroment for healthcare is discussed here

Tools and ways to analyse GI microbiota for healthcare is discussed here
