About this Research Topic
In this Research Topic, we aim to bring together great insight into the use of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), antibiotics, and so on to treat infectious diseases and cancer by regulating body immunity. In particular, studies addressing the impact of intestinal flora on the immune molecular mechanisms are welcome.
Specially, manuscripts focusing on the following sub-topics are highly welcome:
1. Effects of gut microbiota on immune system maturation and immunoregulation
2. Mechanism by which the immune environment influences the composition and function of the gut microbiome
3. The relationship between gut microbiota and the efficacy of some drugs for infectious diseases and cancer
4. Utilization of gut microbiota to construct biomarkers for early diagnosis of infectious diseases and cancer
5. Effect and mechanism of treating infectious diseases and cancer by regulating gut microbiota
6. The mechanisms by which the gut microbiota contributes to the occurrence of infectious diseases and cancer, with the focus on key pathways such as bacterial dysbiosis, leaky gut, bacterial metabolites, and microorganism-related molecular patterns
Keywords: gut microbiota, immunity, infection, cancer, probiotics
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
