Core Tip
Core Tip: This article reviews the role of microbiota in Crohn’s disease (CD) and the effects of fecal microbiota transplantation. CD is a chronic, relapsing condition with a complex pathogenesis involving genetic and environmental factors. The gut microbiota, crucial for various bodily functions, shows dysbiosis in CD, with a reduction in beneficial microbes. This review highlights recent developments in understanding microbiota’s role in CD and its potential in treatment strategies.
