About This Topic
The aim of this study is to investigate the composition and diversity of the intestinal, ocular and vaginal microbiota in a population of patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), maculopathies, infertility compared to healthy individuals, in order to identify any correlations between the composition of the microbiota and the pathogenesis of these diseases. We will use DNA sequencing techniques and bioinformatics analyzes to characterize the microbiota, and compare the results obtained between patient groups and healthy controls. The results of this study could contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying IBS, ocular diseases, vaginal infections that alter sperm motility and the identification of potential therapeutic targets for disease management.
