Core Tip

Core Tip: This study investigates the links between intestinal dysbiosis and recurrent colorectal polyps using 16S rDNA sequencing. The findings reveal reduced probiotics and increased pathogenic bacteria in the mucosa surrounding or 10 cm distal to the polyps. Significant differences in bacterial diversity were found among the normal mucosa, non-adenomous polyps, and adenomous polyps. Increased Gram-negative bacteria, such as Klebsiella, Plesiomonas, and Cronobacter, suggest that antibiotic resistance may contribute to the establishment of a harmful environment. Age and gender also influence bacterial changes, indicating the involvement of sex hormones. Targeting specific pathogenic bacteria may facilitate the prevention of recurrent polyps.
