Core Tip Using a longitudinal paired design, this paediatric inflammatory bowel disease metagenomic study shows that transition from active disease to remission is marked by a distinct gut microbiome with functional relevance. Remission was associated with enrichment of beneficial taxa (Anaerostipes hadrus, Bifidobacterium spp., Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Lactobacillus gasseri) and metabolic pathways supporting short-chain fatty acid production, epithelial barrier repair, and immune modulation, whereas flare was dominated by Klebsiella pneumoniae. These findings highlight microbiome-derived functional pathways as promising targets for non-invasive biomarkers and microbiome-based therapeutic strategies to sustain remission in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease.
