The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are described as complex, recurrent inflammatory conditions which are manifested as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The common symptoms of IBD include debilitating/severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and chronic fatigue; events that may culminate in life-threatening complications. The pathogenesis of IBD has been characterized as complex/multi-factorial that includes disruption of intestinal epithelial barrier with consequent translocation of commensal microbial products as the prime event that instigates severe immune responses and intestinal inflammation.
