Abstract
Diverticular disease (DD) is widespread worldwide. The role of gut microbiota (GM) in DD is not entirely understood. Here we discuss the significance of the current knowledge on GM in the different stages of DD and how crucial these acquisitions are for designing diagnostic and therapeutic trials in this field.
