| description | Gut microbiota plays an important role in gut health, and its dysbiosis is closely related to the pathogenesis of various intestinal diseases. The field of gut microbiota and intestinal diseases has not yet been systematically quantified through bibliometric methods. This study conducted bibliometric analysis to delineate the evolution of research on gut microbiota and intestinal diseases. Data were sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection database from 2009 to 2023 and were scientometrically analyzed using CiteSpace. We have found that the number of annual publications has been steadily increasing and showing an upward trend. China and the Chinese Academy of Sciences are the country and institution with the most contributions, respectively. <i>Frontiers in Microbiology</i> and <i>Nutrients</i> are the journals with the most publications, while <i>Plos One</i> and <i>Nature</i> are the journals with the most citations. The field has shifted from focusing on traditional descriptive analysis of gut microbiota composition to exploring the causal relationship between gut microbiota and intestinal diseases. The research hotspots and trends mainly include the correlation between specific intestinal diseases and gut microbiota diversity, the mechanism of gut microbiota involvement in intestinal diseases, the exploration of important gut microbiota related to intestinal diseases, and the relationship between gut microbiota and human gut health. This study provides a comprehensive knowledge map of gut microbiota and intestinal diseases, highlights key research areas, and outlines potential future directions. |
