Core Tip Optimizing gut microbiota composition is a promising strategy for decolonizing bacterial pathogens in pediatric surgery-related intestinal disorders. The decolonization of bacterial pathogens in this condition is crucial for reducing complications and improving recovering. Current approaches include selective digestive decontamination, probiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation. Future strategies should focus on microbiota-targeted precision therapies, including phage therapy and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-based gene editing among others, to enhance pathogen eradication while preserving beneficial gut flora.
