Zusammenfassung:The intestinal microbiota is significantly altered in cirrhotic patients, but the composition of the intestinal microbiota in Mexican patients with the pathology has not been reported. The present study is an attempt to determine the type of intestinal microbiota in healthy subjects and in patients of Mexican mestizo origin that present with cirrhosis of the liver. Biochemical liver function parameters (ALT, AST, GGT, BIL-T, etc.) were determined in 23 cirrhotic patients and 21 control subjects. The intestinal microbiota was established through 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. The cirrhotic patients had elevated levels of ALT, AST, GGT (105.2±77.7 vs. 20.99±8.5UI/L, 110±68.6 vs. 23.39±5.2, and 119.1±79.1 vs. 19.3±15.2UI/L, respectively), IL-6 (1.64±0.38pg/ml, P
