Objective To explore gut microbiome influences on anastomotic healing following gastrointestinal surgery and its mechanism.Method The relevant literatures about gut microbiome and its impact on healing of gastrointestinal anastomosis and their mechanisms were reviewed.Results Several symbiotic intestinal microbiota such as the Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, etc. could transform into the pathogenic bacteria with high toxic phenotype in an inflammatory environment in the body, and dissolve the extracellular matrix by degrading collagen or activating matrix metalloproteinase 9, resulting in the anastomotic leak.Conclusion In general, exploring of effect of intestinal microbiome on healing process of anastomotic stoma is just beginning, conditions and mechanisms for transformation of bacteria from symbiotic to pathogenic still need to be explored.
