Résumé
La mise en évidence d’un état pro-inflammatoire au cours du SII a permis d’émettre l’hypothèse qu’il pouvait exister des altérations de la flore digestive au cours du SII. Par rapport aux sujets sains, quelques travaux très récents suggèrent qu’il existe un déséquilibre qualitatif de la flore colique chez ces patients. Par ailleurs, d’autres travaux, émanant principalement d’une seule équipe, suggèrent qu’il existe des anomalies quantitatives de la flore, ce qui pourrait être une cible thérapeutique. Les probiotiques, en modulant l’équilibre de la flore digestive, sont une piste thérapeutique intéressante. Quelques études ont montré que certains probiotiques étaient susceptibles d’améliorer de façon prolongée les patients atteints de SII.
Abstract
The demonstration of a pro-inflammatory condition as part of IBS has resulted in the suggestion that there may be intestinal flora alterations with irritable bowel syndrome. With respect to healthy subjects, some very recent research has suggested that a qualitative imbalance of intestinal flora exists in these patients. Moreover, further research from another group found quantitative differences of flora which could be a therapeutic target. Probiotics, by modulating intestinal flora balance, are an interesting therapeutic option. A few studies have demonstrated that some probiotics could have long-lasting improvements for patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome.
