Abstract
Interactions between microbiota and gastrointestinal (GI) function may be evident from the early stage of life. Microbiota contributes to myenteric nerve development and normal gut function maintenance. Earlier studies suggested that germ-free or antibiotics treated mice have decreased gastrointestinal transit. Also, abnormal gut microbiota is common in patients with altered GI motility, like IBS.
