Conclusion

Research proves the connection between the human gut microbial community and Crohn’s Disease. There is less literature on the link between, F. prausnitzii,, but enough is present to continue to research the correlation between the two on further research on the topic. Crohn’s Disease is a non-treatable illness that causes significant interference in the lives of those inflicted with it, and to move forward with trying to work to create a treatment, the factors contributing to the disease need to be understood. The effect of F. prausnitzii, on the gut-brain axis initially demonstrates the formation of this relationship with the overlap in F. prausnitzii, affecting other IBD patients. In short, the dysregulation of gut microbiota affects humans well being and Crohn’s disease is one that it causes to come to fruition. With all of this information, we can look into more possible clinical trials. Further research is needed to reach these steps, but as more is learned and developed about the connection between the gut-microbiota F. prausnitzii, and Crohn’s disease, many scientific discoveries can be created.
