The evidence for this intervention is of variable quality and it is often contradictory, yet there is now a global move toward the adoption of oral antibiotic therapy for the reduction of perioperative infective complications, such as surgical site infections. The gut microbiome is a critical mediator of the systemic inflammatory response to surgical injury, wound healing, and perioperative gut function. The loss of critical microbial symbiotic functions caused by bowel preparation and surgery has an adverse impact on surgical outcomes, yet the mechanisms through which this occurs are poorly defined. In this review, the evidence for bowel preparation strategies is critically appraised in the context of the gut microbiome. The impact of antibiotic therapy on the surgical gut microbiome and the importance of the intestinal \"resistome\" to surgical recovery is described. Data to support the augmentation of the microbiome through diet, probiotic and symbiotic approaches, as well as fecal transplantation are also appraised. Finally, we propose a novel strategy of bowel preparation defined as \" <i>surgical bioresilience</i> \" and define areas or prioritization in this emerging field. This describes the optimization of surgical intestinal homeostasis and core surgical exposome-microbiome interactions that regulate the wound immune microenvironment, the systemic inflammatory response to surgical injury, and gut function across the perioperative time course.</p>","PeriodicalId":48754,"journal":{"name":"Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery","volume":"36 2","pages":"138-145"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9946716/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9356486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intestinal microbiome, composed primarily of bacteria but also viruses, fungi, and archaea, has been shown to regulate CRC development and progression both in vitro and in vivo. In this review, the role and intersection of the bacterial microbiome in various stages of clinical CRC development and management are discussed beginning with CRC screening. Various mechanisms whereby the microbiome has been shown to modulate CRC development including the influence of diet on the microbiome, bacterial-induced injury to the colonic epithelium, bacterial-produced toxins, and alteration of normal cancer immunosurveillance by the microbiome are discussed. Finally, the influence of microbiome on the response of CRC to treatment is discussed while highlighting ongoing clinical trials.
