Warm and humid environment induces gut microbiota dysbiosis and bacterial translocation leading to inflammatory state and promotes proliferation and biofilm formation of certain bacteria, potentially causing sticky stool
These findings provided new insights into the biological mechanisms of 'Dampness Syndrome' and support the therapeutic role of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in treating symptoms associated with microbial dysbiosis and inflammation. Additionally, they indicate that TNF-α seems to have selective effects in promoting the proliferation and biofilm formation of different microbial species.
