Role and mechanism of gut microbiota involved in host immune response

Abstract:

Being an important component to the health of the host, the intestinal flora can participate in the immune regulation of the body, promote the development of the body's immune system, and maintain normal immune function. At the same time, the immune system has regulatory and restrictive effects on the intestinal flora. This paper reviews the species of intestinal flora, factors affecting the changes in intestinal flora, the mechanism of interaction between intestinal microbiota and pathogens, and the role in host infection and immune response. This paper will also provide new insights into research on the mechanism of intestinal flora participating in the immune response.
