摘要：

腸道菌群是人體共生微生物的一個重要組成部分，在維持宿主健康、免疫調(diào)節(jié)、營養(yǎng)吸收、代謝等方面發(fā)揮著重要的作用。因此，研究腸道菌群的成分、數(shù)量、分布和功能等具有重要的意義。而分離、鑒定和分析腸道菌群是研究腸道菌群的前提和基礎。傳統(tǒng)的分離和鑒定方法主要基于生理與生化特性、形態(tài)學、生長特征等來檢測和區(qū)分菌群，這些方法存在著一定的局限性。液相色譜技術(shù)是一種高效、精準、快速分離、分析、鑒定生物分子的方法，可以輔助腸道菌群的分離、分析，獲得更高精度的結(jié)果。本文綜述了液相色譜技術(shù)在輔助腸道菌群分離、分析中的基本原理、方法、步驟、技術(shù)流程等方面的研究進展，并探討了該技術(shù)在腸道菌群分析中的應用價值和發(fā)展前景。文中還介紹了液相色譜技術(shù)在腸道菌群分析中所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)和問題，并提出了今后進一步研究和改進該技術(shù)的方向和思路。
