Track 8: Microflora in Health and Disease Control – 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition

 Attend the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition & Gut Health Conference and Exhibition

December 17–19, 2026 | Dubai, UAE

Introduction

 Track 8: Microflora in Health and Disease Control: at the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition highlights one of the most transformative topics in modern health science: Gut-Microbiota and Metabolic Longevity. As global life expectancy rises, the focus is no longer just on living longer—but on living healthier, stronger, and metabolically balanced throughout the aging process.

In recent years, scientists have discovered that the trillions of microorganisms living in our digestive system play a central role in regulating metabolism, immunity, inflammation, and even brain function. This complex microbial ecosystem, known as the gut microbiota, acts almost like a hidden metabolic organ—producing bioactive compounds, supporting nutrient absorption, and influencing how our bodies respond to aging.

However, as we grow older, changes in diet, lifestyle, stress, medication use, and environmental exposure can disrupt microbial balance. This imbalance, often referred to as dysbiosis, has been linked to metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic inflammation—conditions that accelerate biological aging.

What is Microflora in Health and Disease Control?

Microflora (also known as microbiota) refers to the vast community of microorganisms bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes that live in and on the human body, especially in the gut.

Microflora in Health and Disease Control studies how these microorganisms:

·         Protect against harmful pathogens

·         Support immune function

·         Maintain metabolic balance

·         Prevent chronic diseases

·         Influence inflammation and recovery

In simple terms:
 Healthy microflora helps maintain body balance, while imbalanced microflora (dysbiosis) can contribute to disease development.

 Description

The human body hosts trillions of microbes that act as a protective and regulatory system. A balanced microflora:

·         Aids digestion and nutrient absorption

·         Produces vitamins (like B vitamins and Vitamin K)

·         Strengthens the immune system

·         Maintains gut barrier integrity

·         Reduces inflammation

When disrupted due to poor diet, antibiotics, stress, infections, or lifestyle factors, microflora imbalance can lead to:

·         Digestive disorders

·         Autoimmune conditions

·         Metabolic diseases

·         Allergies

·         Infections

Understanding this balance is essential for disease prevention and long-term health management.

 Types of Microflora

1 Beneficial Microflora

·         Probiotic bacteria

·         Fiber-fermenting microbes

·         Anti-inflammatory strains

These support immunity and metabolic health.

2 Opportunistic Microflora

Normally harmless but can cause problems if immune function weakens.

3Pathogenic Microflora

Harmful microorganisms that cause infections and disease.

4 Site-Specific Microflora

·         Gut microflora

·         Skin microflora

·         Oral microflora

·         Respiratory microflora

Each type plays a specific role in maintaining health.

 Effects on Health

Balanced microflora can:

 Improve digestion
 Strengthen immune defense
 Prevent infections
 Reduce inflammation
 Support metabolic stability
 Improve mental well-being (gut-brain connection)

Imbalanced microflora may contribute to:

Obesity
 Diabetes
 IBS & IBD
 Cardiovascular disease
 Allergic disorders
 Depression & anxiety

Professions Involved

Microflora research connects multiple healthcare fields:

·         Microbiologists

·         Gastroenterologists

·         Clinical nutritionists

·         Immunologists

·         Infectious disease specialists

·         Pharmaceutical researchers

·         Probiotic developers

·         Public health professionals

It is a multidisciplinary approach to disease control and prevention.

 Solving Health Issues Through Microflora Management

Experts recommend:

Diet-Based Interventions

High-fiber, fermented foods, and plant-rich diets.

 Probiotics & Prebiotics

Supplementation to restore microbial balance.

Controlled Antibiotic Use

Preventing unnecessary microbial disruption.

 Microbiome Testing

Personalized strategies based on individual microbial profiles.

 Lifestyle Improvements

Exercise, sleep hygiene, and stress reduction.

Conclusion

Microflora plays a fundamental role in maintaining health and controlling disease. By understanding and nurturing our microbial ecosystems, we can move toward preventive healthcare rather than reactive treatment.

Track 8: Microflora in Health and Disease Control: at the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition, global experts continue exploring innovative strategies to harness microflora science for improved immunity, metabolic stability, and long-term wellness.
