Importance:
Gut microbiota can regulate many physiological processes within gastrointestinal tract and other distal sites. Dysbiosis may not only influence chronic diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), metabolic disease, tumor and its therapeutic efficacy, but also deteriorate acute injuries. While the application of bibliometrics in the field of gut microbiota and immune microenvironment still remains blank, which focused more on the regulation of the gut microbiota on the immune microenvironment of different kinds of diseases. Here, we intended to review and summarize the presented documents in gut microbiota and immune microenvironment field by bibliometrics. And we revealed researches on gut microbiota and immune microenvironment were growing. More attention should be given to the latest hotspots like gut microbiota, inflammation, IBD, cancer and immunotherapy, acute traumas, and metabolic diseases.
