Abstract

Intestinal (gut) microbiota is a community of microorganisms that colonize human digestive system. In recent times, intestinal microbiota has been intensively researched, that is, its role in the host's health has been a research subject. In the human body, among other things, the intestinal microbiota plays the role of a central regulator of metabolism and immune function, and disturbances in the balance of the intestinal microbiota are associated today with numerous pathological conditions. The composition and diversity of the intestinal microbiota are influenced by numerous factors, among which the dietary habits of the individual are cited as the most significant, therefore the question arises to what extent dietary habits can influence the diversity and composition of the intestinal microbiota and to what extent changes in the intestinal microbiota conditioned by dietary habits can influence on the host's health. The intestinal microbiota develops from an early age, and some authors suggest that the formation of the intestinal microbiota begins already in utero, therefore in this paper we will briefly try to present recent findings on the topic of the influence of diet on the intestinal microbiota of infants, that is, point out the differences in the intestinal microbiota of breastfed children and children fed with adapted milk formula.
