Russian term

синантропные бактерии

Russian to English Medical Medical (general) microbiology
Context: inflammatory bowel diseases.

Ведующие теории патогенеза ВЗК предлагают концепцию потери иммунной толерантности, чрезмерного или извращенного системного и местного иммунного ответа на синантропные бактерии в сочетании с активацией оппортунистической инфекции у генетически предрасположенных лиц.

I've seen "synanthropic" used with reference to insects, mammals etc. that live in close association with humans or in habitats created by humans.

"Synanthropic bacteria" seems odd in English.
Proposed translations (English)
2 +2 commensals

As I understand it, commensals / commensal bacteria are non-pathogenic - is that right?

commensals

Indeed, and the Google query for “синантропные бактерии” (in quotes) gives only 10 results.

But I found a PDF file, in which synanthropic becteria are called “комменсалы” (=commensals or commensal bacteria)

P.S. A more accurate term would be “human commensal bacteria.”

Note from asker:
Thank you. I found this definition of "commensal": "living on or within an organism, and deriving benefit without injuring or benefiting the other individual". Does that correspond to your understanding of "синантропные бактерии" here?
"Immune response to commensal bacteria" - I've found something about that, too.
