Background and Aims
It is well accepted that liver diseases and their outcomes are associated with intestinal microbiota, but causality is difficult to establish. The intestinal microbiota are altered in patients with hepatitis C. As chronic HCV infection can now be cured in almost all patients, it is an ideal model to study the influence of liver disease on the microbiota.
