Resumen
Like many seemingly inhospitable environments on our planet, the highly acidic human stomach harbors a diverse bacterial microflora. The best-known member of the human gastric flora, Helicobacter pylori, causes a number of gastric diseases, including peptic ulcer disease and gastric adenocarcinoma. In the absence of H. pylori infection, the gastric microbiota displays some features similar to the oral cavity with Firmicutes the most common phylum, followed by Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes. When present, H. pylori dominates the gastric microbiome and reduces diversity and composition of other taxa. The composition of the gastric microbiome also is altered in the setting of proton pump inhibitor therapy and gastric neoplasia. This review summarizes foundational and recent studies that have investigated the composition of the human gastric microbiome in a variety of patient groups, with a focus on potential mechanisms involved in regulation of gastric microbial community structure.
