General Objectives

• Offer a complete and broad vision of the current situation in the area of the Human Microbiota, in its widest sense, the importance of the balance of this microbiota as a direct effect on our health, with the multiple factors that influence it positively and negatively
• Argue with the backing of scientific evidence how the microbiota is in a privileged position based on its interaction with many non-digestive pathologies, those of autoimmune nature or its relationship with immune system dysregulation, disease prevention and as a support to other medical treatments
• 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
• Encourage professional stimulation through continued specialization and research

Specific Objectives

Module 1. Microbiota. Microbiome. Metagenomics

• Update and clarify general and key terms for a full understanding of the subject such as microbiome, metagenomics, microbiota, symbiosis, dysbiosis 
• Deepen knowledge of how drugs designed for humans can have a negative impact on the gut microbiota, in addition to the known impact of antibiotics

Module 2. Gut Microbiota I. Intestinal Homeostasis

• Study the microbial communities that coexist in symbiosis with humans, learning more about their structure and functions, and how these communities can be altered due to factors such as diet, lifestyle, etc. 
• Understand the relationship between intestinal pathologies: SIBO, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease... etc. and intestinal dysbiosis 

Module 3. Gut Microbiota II. Intestinal Dysbiosis

• 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
• Learn how to manage the different intestinal infections caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi affecting the intestinal microbiota

Module 4. Microbiota in Neonatology and Pediatrics 

• Gain in-depth knowledge of the most influential factors of the intestinal microbiota of the mother, both in childbirth and in the gestation period itself
• Know the clinical applications of probiotics and prebiotics in the pediatric patient

Module 5. Oral Microbiota and Respiratory Tract

• Study the mechanisms by virtue of which probiotics are positioned as preventive in the formation of dental caries and periodontal diseases
• 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 pathologies

Module 6. Microbiota and Immune System

• Delve into the bidirectional relationship between microbiota and the neuroimmunological system and study in depth the intestine-microbiota-brain axis and all the pathologies that are generated in its imbalance
• Analyze the role of nutrition and lifestyle and their interaction with the immune system and the microbiota 

Module 7. Skin Microbiota

• Gain in-depth knowledge of the changes in the microbiota in patients with food exclusion diets such as gluten

Module 10. Probiotics, Prebiotics, Microbiota, and Health

• Have a thorough knowledge of the safety profile of probiotics, since, although their use has become more widespread in recent years thanks to their proven efficacy, both for the treatment and prevention of certain diseases, this does not exempt them from generating adverse effects and potential risks
• Analyze the different clinical applications of probiotics and prebiotics in areas such as urology, gynecology, gastroenterology and immunology
