Abstract
and other gut microbes in IBD pathogenesis. By bridging methodological advancements with functional implications, this review aims to enhance our understanding of gut microbiota-host interactions, which are crucial for maintaining health and preventing disease through immune modulation, where microbiota help regulate immune responses and prevent excessive inflammation; nutrient metabolism, including the breakdown of dietary fibers into short-chain fatty acids that support gut health; and colonization resistance, where beneficial microbes outcompete harmful pathogens to maintain microbial balance.
