Assessment of Possible Link of Intestinal Microbiota and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Introduction: This study assessed the role of gut bacteria in the development of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Methodology: Using bacteria cultural method, microbial species were isolated from feacal materials, identified and quantitated through application of genomic spectrophotometric systems with a quantitation of some marker biochemical parameters for Diabetes. Result: We observed a concentration of firmicutes, bacteriodetes, protecbacteria and bifidobacterium with Escherichia coli population predominating. Biochemical parameters reveal a 3-fold raised value for some bromakers in type 2 diabetes. At a confidence interval of 95% paired sample test results gave significant differences for all tested pairs. Conclusion: Result suggests that microbiomes have the potential to alter the gut environment and cause changes that promote the development of type 2 diabetes.
