Future Perspectives on Infections Associated with Gastrointestinal Tract Diseases 2010-10-09 .txt text/plain 1103 72 45 title: Future Perspectives on Infections Associated with Gastrointestinal Tract Diseases There are a vast number of infectious agents that are associated with gastrointestinal (GI) tract diseases. Advances in technology should provide novel methods for identifying and diagnosing these organisms and the relationship they have with a specific digestive disease. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] In conjunction with this increasing incidence of digestive diseases are the re-emergence of certain infectious agents (Box 1) (eg, cholera) and the identification of new agents (eg, H pylori, Laribacter, Campylobacter concisus), which are associated with GI tract diseases. One of the main issues associated with infections and disease is determining the relationship of the cause and effect. 14 Although these technologies are increasing the understanding of the gut microflora, there remains large gaps of knowledge regarding the metabolic functions of these organisms and the relationship they have with human GI disease.
