According to the researchers (from the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique), the lack of a specific bacterium in the gut can become the cause of Crohn’s disease.
The lack of naturally-produced bacteria may activate the inflammatory gastrointestinal disorder because of over-stimulate immune system.
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is the bug that has been highlighted by a French team. The researchers say that the bug secrets such biochemicals as decrease inflammation.
The study has been presented in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
The researchers has also identified that Crohn’s disease patients have a noticeable deficiency in Clostridium leptum group’s bacteria.
