Linking Microbiome Dysbiosis and Inflammation: Therapeutic Implications for Chronic Inflammatory Enteropathies (RSVP)

Chronic inflammatory enteropathies (CE) occur very common in dogs and cats, and are frustrating to treat due to heterogenous treatment responses and lack of specific markers. The pathophysiology is complex and includes changes in the immune system, intestinal function, and the intestinal microbiome. The current classification based on treatment response (ie, food-, steroid-responsive) is currently being questioned, as new research findings indicate that CE is a progressive syndrome with many overlapping unspecific features, often due to chronic inflammation and irreversible mucosal remodeling, leading to changes in intestinal function and dysbiosis. The presentation will summarize novel research about the pathophysiology and novel concepts in multi-modal therapy, focusing on microbiome therapy, to these conditions. The presenter team will cover both findings from academic research and clinical experience from specialty practice in an interactive way.
