The intestinal microbiota is the collection of microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal system of a human being. These microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens. The gut microbiota plays an important role in the overall health of the body, as it can influence the immune system, digestion and absorption of nutrients, and the production of certain vitamins. Objective. To determine the relationship between the intestinal microbiota and autoimmune diseases where the microorganisms of the flora play a fundamental role in the regulation of the different defense mechanisms. Methodology. A systematic review was performed, information was collected and classified using the PRISMA protocol, with the relationship of intestinal microbiota with autoimmune diseases, whose search algorithm: (Relationship) and (intestinal) and (microbiota) and (autoimmune) and (diseases) between the years 2017-2022. Finally, 167 articles were found. Conclusion. Gut microbiota may have an important relationship with the development and progression of some autoimmune diseases, and treatment with probiotics and prebiotics may have a beneficial effect on the course of these diseases, where gut flora microorganisms may play a crucial role in regulating the body's immune system.
