Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic syndrome of multiple origins, resulting from a lack of insulin or the body’s inability to use it effectively, characterized by persistently high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). Insulin is produced in the pancreas and maintains metabolism by breaking down glucose to provide energy for the body’s functioning. Scientific research has shown that people with diabetes have an imbalance between the beneficial and pathogenic bacteria that make up the gut microbiota, which may be associated with the development of this metabolic disorder. The objective of this manuscript is to report on the bacteria that cause type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. This is an integrative literature review study that aims to survey all references found on a given topic. This integrative literature review aimed to gather all available references on a given topic. The data collected from scientific review publications compiled from the Scientific Electronic Library Online, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, the Ministry of Health’s Virtual Health Library, and Google Scholar platforms. After selecting the articles, the following steps were followed: A. Reading all the abstracts of the articles found. B. Reading the selected articles in full after reading the abstracts. B. Interpretive reading and writing of the text. Only original qualitative review articles, available in full text, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish that addressed the proposed topic and period were used. The selection was based on the scientific accuracy of the review articles.
Keywords: antibiotic resistant, pathogens, infections, bacterial resistance
