Table 2 The changes in the gastric microbiota associated with gastric diseases
| Ref. | Year | Sample type | Main findings |
| [44] | 2014 | Non-atrophic gastritis (NAG), intestinal metaplasia (IM) and intestinal-type gastric cancer (GC) patients | GC patients: Lactobacillus coleohominis, and Lachnospiraceae↑ |
| [45] | 2016 | Chronic gastritis and GC patients | GC patients: Lactobacillus, Escherichia-Shigella, Nitrospirae, Burkholderia fungorum, and Lachnospiraceae↑ |
| [42] | 2018 | Chronic gastritis and gastric carcinoma patients | GC patients: Lactobacillus, Citrobacter, and Phyllobacterium↑ |
| [46] | 2021 | Superficial gastritis (SG), atrophic gastritis (AG), gastric intraepithelial neoplasia, and GC patients | GC patients: Oral bacteria including Parvimonas, Eikenella, and Prevotella-2↑; Environmental bacteria including Kroppenstedtia, Lentibacillus, and Oceanobacillus↑ |
| [47] | 2021 | Normal people, advanced AG with IM, and early GC | From controls to IM then to cancer: Gemella, and Streptococcus↑ |
| [43] | 2024 | SG, AG, IM and GC patients; mice | During the progression of GC: Streptococcus anginosus↑. Streptococcus anginosus promoting gastric inflammation, atrophy, and tumorigenesis |
| [48] | 2025 | NAG patients and CAG patients | Peptostreptococcus, fusobacterium, prevotella, sphingomonas and bacteroides were the essential features that distinguish AG from NAG and altered various metabolic pathways |
