Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an association between endomicroscopic pattern and colorectal mucosal microbiome exists.

Detailed Description
The gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in the intestinal pathophysiology. The mucosal microbiome is in the front face of microbiome-host cross-talk. Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) can provide realtime mucosal images during ongoing endoscopy. We hypothesized that the mucosal pattern, here evaluated by endomicroscopy, may constitute specific microbiome niches and participate the evolvement of the mucosal microbiome.
