The authors present evidence published during the past two years of the roles of commensal and pathogenic bacteria in the pathogenesis of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Rodent models conclusively implicate commensal enteric bacteria in chronic, immune-mediated, experimental colitis, and genetically determined defects in bacterial killing by innate immune cells are found in a subset of Crohn’s disease patients. There is no evidence that a single pathogen, including Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis, causes Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. However, adherent/invasive E. coli (AIEC) are associated with ileal Crohn’s disease, with the mechanisms and genetics of AIEC virulence being elucidated. Molecular characterization of the microbiota in patients with IBD reveals decreased biodiversity of commensal bacteria, most notably the phyla Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, including the clinically-relevant Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and increased E. coli concentrations. VSL#3 is one probiotic preparation shown to be efficacious in certain clinical situations in small clinical trials. Further characterization of altered microbiota in patients with IBD and linking dysbiosis with host genetic alterations in immunoregulation, innate microbial killing and barrier function are critical, so that individualized treatments to increase beneficial commensals and their metabolic products (probiotic and prebiotic administration) and diminish deleterious species such as AIEC can be tailored for defined patient subsets.
