Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to evaluate the role of microbiota and probiotics in Egyptian patients with ulcerative colitis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronic diseases that significantly affects patients' quality of life and is mainly represented by Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).

The microbiome is a key contributor to various fundamental aspects of human health, including host metabolism, infection, and the immune response.

Changes in microbiome composition have been linked to complex multifactorial diseases, e.g., type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver syndrome, as well as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
