Jeddah
Tahani Farooq Ahmed, Samah Omar Noor, Ahmed M. Al-Hejin
Abstract:
A large collection of micro-organisms is present in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The two main phyla are Bacteroides and
firmicutes, respectively. The importance of gut microbiota for human health has been demonstrated in previous research. Also,
several health problems related to changes in the intestinal microbiota have been reported. Focal research into the normal
distribution of gut microbiota in Saudi women, therefore, needs to be conducted in this area. Studies have shown that in different
geographical regions 'balanced gut microbiota' varies. A major piece of knowledge about normal intestinal diversity in healthy
Saudi women will be included in this report. This may be used as a guide to various health issues for the research. The objective
of our research is to test the intestinal microbial diversity of healthy Saudi women.
