LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this program, the attendees should be able to:
Describe the beneficial effects of the normal gastrointestinal microflora on the development and function of the immune system.
Describe the adverse immunological effects secondary to the disruption of the normal microflora.
Articulate the Hygiene and Old Friends Hypotheses for the cause of the current epidemic of allergic and autoimmune diseases.
Understand the mechanisms by which the gut microflora interacts with the innate and acquired immune systems.
Describe the mechanisms by which probiotics may confer benefit in immune-mediated disorders.
Describe the role of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in infancy and childhood.
Describe the role of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases.
Describe the potential use of probiotics to safely reduce the risk of diarrhea during immunosuppression for organ transplantation.
Understand the role of gut dysbiosis in the development of food allergies and the use of pre- and probiotics to prevent and treat food allergies.
Understand the role of healthy gut biofilm in normal immune function and the role of pathogenic biofilm in the immune response to intestinal Candida.
Describe the use of enzymes to disrupt pathogenic gastrointestinal biofilm. |
