ÖZET
 Bağırsak mikrobiyotası, insanların ve hayvanların sindirim kanallarında yaşayan çeşitli mikroorganizmaların bir araya gelmesi sonucu oluşan ve bakteri, virüs ile bazı ökaryotlar dâhil binlerce mikroorganizmayı içeren bir yapıdır. Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria ve Fusobacterianın baskın olarak bulunduğu bağırsak mikrobiyotası, konakçının genetiği ve beslenme şekline göre değişiklik göstermektedir. Bağırsak mikrobiyotasının insan metabolizması üzerinde birçok etkisinin olduğu; mikrobiyotanın bağırsak mukozal yüzeylerini kolonize ederek patojenlerden korunmayı desteklediği, bağışıklık sistemini güçlendirdiği, insülin direncini değiştirdiği ve insülinin salgılanmasını etkilediği bildirilmektedir. Metabolik ürünlerin birçoğu bağırsak mikrobiyomunda bulunan bakteriler tarafından üretildiği için mikrobiyomun değişmesi çeşitli hastalıklara sebep olabilmektedir. Endüstriyel ve tarımsal uygulamalar için kullanılan sentetik kimyasal maddeler çevrenin yaygın şekilde kirlenmesine yol açmaktadır. Bu çevresel kirleticilerin insan sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerinin araştırıldığı çok sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır ve organizmada farklı hedef organların etkilendiği çalışmalar da rapor edilmiştir. Özellikle son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda, çevresel kirleticilerin bağırsak mikrobiyotası ile etkileşimine ve bu etkileşim sonucunda bağırsak mikrobiyomunun bileşiminin, enerji metabolizmasını, besin emilimi miktarını ve bağışıklık sistemi işlevlerini değiştirebileceğine, bununla birlikte toksik etkilerin oluşabileceğine işaret edilmektedir. Bu derleme kapsamında, sıklıkla maruz kalınabilen çevresel kirleticiler arasında yer alan pestisitler, ftalatlar ve bisfenol A'nın bağırsak mikrobiyotası üzerindeki etkilerini inceleyen in vivo ve in vitro çalışmalar araştırılmış; bu bileşiklerin mikrobiyotanın fonksiyonlarını ve yapısını ne şekilde etkilediği ile buna bağlı ortaya çıkabilecek istenmeyen etkileri değerlendirilmiştir.

ABSTRACT
 The intestinal microbiota is a structure that is formed as a result of the combination of various microorganisms living in the digestive tracts of humans and animals and includes thousands of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and some eukaryotes. Intestinal microbiota, in which Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Fusobacteria are dominant, varies according to the genetics and diet of the host. The intestinal microbiota has many effects on human metabolism; It is reported that the microbiota supports protection from pathogens by colonizing intestinal mucosal surfaces, strengthens the immune system, changes insulin resistance, and affects insulin secretion. Since many of the metabolic products are produced by bacteria in the gut microbiome, changes in the microbiome can cause various diseases. Synthetic chemicals used for industrial and agricultural practices cause widespread environmental pollution. In many studies investigating the effects of environmental pollutants on human health, it has been reported in studies that different target organs in the organism are affected. Especially in recent studies, it has been pointed out that the interaction of environmental pollutants with the intestinal microbiota, and as a result of this interaction, the composition of the intestinal microbiome can change the energy metabolism, nutrient absorption amount and immune system functions, however toxic effects may occur. In this review, in vivo and in vitro studies examining the effects of pesticides, phthalates, and bisphenol A, which are among the environmental pollutants that can be frequently exposed to, on the intestinal microbiota were investigated. How the compounds affect the functions and structure of the microbiota and the undesirable effects that may arise due to this were evaluated.

Keywords: Microbiota; pesticide; bisphenol A; phthalates
