Role of climate and a proper gut flora prevalence walks hand in hand preventing from the onset of certain infections caused by food borne pathogenic bacteria. The plethora of microbes residing in the gut as “Sentinels of Defense” thereby maintaining an immune-homeostasis through complex microbial cross-talk with mucosal immune system of GI tract via integrated signalling and gene regulation is dominated by the climate induced micro-environment across the global population. In this study, we tried to bridge the connection between the country based sustaining climate and the role of commensal gut flora involved in outcompeting the ingested food-borne pathogens present in street food like Chowmein and meat, by posing restraints in nutrients and colonization space blocking the pathogenic I.D. Our study encompasses certain findings of different types of food borne pathogens in connection with raw Chowmein and Meat (raw) sample, related to the tropical climate of West Bengal, India compared with the in-silico research of Western Climate influencing the gut flora of the indigenous population following a completely different pattern of food habits. A hypothesis was made regarding the resilience of Indians towards food borne intoxication due to the sustaining tropical climate in comparison with the Western population based on two broad groups of microbes namely Prevotella sp and Bacteroid ssp as a consequence of totally different climate sustenance and discrete food habits followed in these two unique global locations.

Abstract


Role of climate and a proper gut flora prevalence walks hand in hand preventing from the onset of certain infections caused by food borne pathogenic bacteria. The plethora of microbes residing in the gut as “Sentinels of Defense” thereby maintaining an immune-homeostasis through complex microbial cross-talk with mucosal immune system of GI tract via integrated signalling and gene regulation is dominated by the climate induced micro-environment across the global population. In this study, we tried to bridge the connection between the country based sustaining climate and the role of commensal gut flora involved in outcompeting the ingested food-borne pathogens present in street food like Chowmein and meat, by posing restraints in nutrients and colonization space blocking the pathogenic I.D. Our study encompasses certain findings of different types of food borne pathogens in connection with raw Chowmein and Meat (raw) sample, related to the tropical climate of West Bengal, India compared with the in-silico research of Western Climate influencing the gut flora of the indigenous population following a completely different pattern of food habits. A hypothesis was made regarding the resilience of Indians towards food borne intoxication due to the sustaining tropical climate in comparison with the Western population based on two broad groups of microbes namely Prevotella sp and Bacteroid ssp as a consequence of totally different climate sustenance and discrete food habits followed in these two unique global locations.
