%X The inflammatory bowel diseases, encompassing ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are characterized by a relapsing-remitting disease course. Despite achieving remission, approximately one-third of the patients relapse annually and yet the microbiota associated with relapse remains elusive. We hypothesized that distinctions in gut microbial composition among patients in clinical remission could potentially influence the disease course. We aimed to discern a distinctive microbial signature in patients with UC in clinical remission, which could serve as a predictive marker for the sustained clinical remission.
