Table 3.

Consequences of gut dysbiosis.

Types of Dysbiosis Consequences
  1. Storage of an abnormal substrate in the intestinal lumen (undigested nutrients, medications) [32].

  2. Disruption of proper microbiome function caused by lack of commensal bacteria (C. hiranonis) [47].

  3. Increase in the total number of bacteria, primarily in the small intestine [32].

  4. Increased mucosa- adherent bacteria [32].

  1. Increase in bacterial species, causing osmotic/secretory diarrhoea (conversion of fatty acids to hydroxystearic acids, metabolites of mycophenolate motefil) [32].

  2. Bacterial overgrowth (C. difficile, C. perfringens, E. coli) caused by lack of conversion from primary to secondary BAs.

    Lack of anti-inflammatory microbial-derived metabolites [63].

  3. Increased production of microbial metabolites leading to osmotic/secretory diarrhoea.

    Activation of inflammatory reactions [32].

  4. Increased adhesion of bacteria to the intestinal mucosa causes increased inflammatory reactions [32].
