Therapeutic modulation of intestinal microbiota in irritable bowel syndrome. From probiotics to fecal microbiota therapy

MMW - Fortschritte der Medizin Aims and scope

Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Eine gestörte Darmmikrobiota (Dysbiose) spielt eine zentrale Rolle in der Pathogenese funktioneller Darmerkrankungen, insbesondere des Reizdarmsyndroms.

Methode

In der Übersichtsarbeit sind vier derzeitige Optionen zur Behandlung des Reizdarmsyndroms dargestellt, die über eine Modulation der Darmmikrobiota wirken.

Ergebnisse und Schlussfolgerungen

Probiotika wirken sehr unterschiedlich auf die einzelnen Symptome des Reizdarms. Die Wahl des geeigneten Präparats sollte sich deshalb nach den klinischen Symptomen richten. Rifaximin ist bei ausgewählten Patienten wirksam. Einige Patienten profitieren auch von der Wiederholung dieser Antibiotikatherapie. Eine FODMAP-reduzierte Diät hat in Studien eine signifikante Linderung der Reizdarmsymptome gezeigt. Die fäkale Mikrobiota-Therapie (FMT) ist eine vielversprechende Behandlungsmöglichkeit. Derzeit fehlen allerdings entsprechende placebokontrollierte Studien, um die engültige Wirksamkeit dieser Methode beurteilen zu können.

Abstract

Background

An abnormal intestinal microbiota (dysbiosis) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of the irritable bowel syndrome.

Method

An overview of four current options for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, which are characterized by modulation of intestinal microbiota, is given.

Results and conclusions

Probiotics have very different effects on the individual symptoms of the irritable bowel. The choice of the appropriate preparation should therefore be based on the clinical symptomatology. The antibiotic rifaximin is effective in selected patients. Some patients also benefit from the repetition of this therapy. A FODMAP-reduced diet has shown significant alleviation of irritable bowel symptoms in studies. The fecal microbiota therapy (FMT) is a promising treatment option. At present, however, there are no such placebo-controlled studies to assess the effectiveness of this method.
