[A study of human fecal microbiocenosis by experimental in vitro modeling of constipation].

ABSTRACT

A study of human fecal microbiocenosis using experimental in vitro modeling of constipation was carried out. The study revealed certain dynamics of the incidence, proportion and ratio of microorganisms isolated from the feces at various stages of cultivation. The character of the changes of these parameters depended on the type of the microorganism. According to the results of the experiment, transitory flora (staphylococci; candidas) begins to disappear within the first day of cultivation. If intestinal evacuation is retarded for more than 2 or 3 days, distortion of the microbiological characteristics of the residential microflora, bifidobacteria and escherichiae, is possible. These processes may lead to a false positive result of dysbiosis analysis. The authors conclude that dysbiotic changes in constipation are caused by fecal retention. That is why correct diagnostics of dysbiosis is possible only after regular everyday stool is reestablished.
