Role of biliary microbiota in the pathogenesis of bile duct stones: latest research progress
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery : Concepts & Practice - Year 2024, Vol 29, Issue 6
Abstract
The pathogenesis of bile duct stones (BDS) remains intricate and has not been fully elucidated to date. Emerging research has highlighted the biliary microbiota as a significant contributor to BDS. The diversity within the biliary microbiota correlates with stone formation, while bacterial metabolites and their self-protection mechanisms also exert pivotal roles in this process. Advanced technologies, such as high-throughput sequencing, offer fresh perspectives for in-depth exploration, and hold promise for novel strategies in the prevention and treatment of biliary tract diseases. This article comprehensively reviewed the recent advancements in research concerning the relationship and mechanisms between BDS and the biliary microbiota.
