In as little as 12 months’ time, you will be aware of the benefits of maintaining an adequate gastrointestinal, oral, urinary tract or reproductive tract microbiota" 

Numerous pieces of scientific evidence have implicated the intestinal microbiome and its metabolic potential in various pathological conditions in recent years, giving rise to new therapeutic strategies to control and regulate this ecosystem. The study of this ecosystem is a field that is rapidly advancing scientifically, and it is universally accepted that to achieve an adequate state of health it is also necessary to have a "healthy" Microbiota.

Our Microbiota undergoes changes as a consequence of the influence of multiple factors, diet, lifestyle, pharmacological treatments... generating alterations in this bacterial ecosystem; this abnormal interaction that the organism could have with it is related to certain processes: allergic, acute and chronic intestinal diseases, obesity and metabolic syndrome, neurological diseases, dermatitis and other alterations in the dermis and even some types of cancer.

The increasing availability on the market of new products with very specific strains for very specific problems and diseases makes it necessary for nursing professionals to be up to date with all the scientific advances in this area in order to offer patients more specialized and higher-quality care.

Therefore, from this professional master’s degree in Human Microbiota for Nursing, the best professionals will focus on offering the latest information to nursing professionals on the importance of flora to maintain a healthy state, and provide them with the most recent studies, which will allow them to expand their knowledge on the benefits and applications of the Human Microbiota for Nursing in their daily clinical practice.

• Argue with scientific evidence how the microbiota and its interaction with many non-digestive pathologies, of autoimmune nature or its relationship with the dysregulation of the immune system, the prevention of diseases and as a support to other treatments in the daily practice of nursing
• Promote work strategies based on the integral approach of the patient as a reference model, not only focusing on the symptomatology of the specific pathology, but also looking at its interaction with the microbiota and how it may be influencing it

• Study the microbial communities that coexist in symbiosis with the human being, learning more about their structure and functions and how these communities can be altered due to factors such as diet, lifestyle, etc
• Delve into the knowledge of the intestinal microbiota as the main axis of the human microbiota and its interrelation with the rest of the body, its study methods and its applications in clinical practice to maintain a good state of health
• Understand the relationship between intestinal pathologies: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, and intestinal dysbiosis
• Learn how manage in an updated way the different intestinal infections caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi by modulating the altered intestinal microbiota
• Delve into the bidirectional relationship between microbiota and neuroimmunological system and to study in depth the intestine-microbiota-brain axis and all the pathologies that are generated in its imbalance
• Acquire an in-depth knowledge of all the oral and respiratory structure and the ecosystems that live in them, seeing how an alteration of these ecosystems has a direct relationship with many associated pathology
