Dysbiosis, characterized by a microbial imbalance, particularly within the gut microbiota, has emerged as a significant health concern linked to various diseases. This study analyzed 8097 patent documents from The Lens database (2005–2024) to examine global innovation trends in dysbiosis management. The patent filings showed exponential growth, peaking at 1222 documents in 2022, with the United States leading in publications (4361 documents). The analysis revealed three primary innovation clusters: bacterial-based therapeutics (44.8% of patents), specific therapeutic applications (27.6%), and diagnostic methods (15.9%). The disease associations predominantly included inflammatory conditions, infections, and cancer. The patent classifications highlighted a significant focus on probiotic development and microbiota modulation. The surge in patent activity since 2014 correlates with advances in DNA sequencing technology and the growing recognition of dysbiosis’s role in human health. This analysis provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of microbiome therapeutics and future directions for dysbiosis management.
