Background. Gut microbiota plays an important role in the human body, antimicrobial drugs intake being one of main factors affecting composition. Antibiotics suppress normal intestinal microflora allowing for growth and development pathogenic flora. Objective. To study effect meropenem imicenem on microbiocenosis morphology small intestine rats. Material methods. In experiment rats, we analysed...

RELEVANCE A special place in the development of enteral insufficiency is given to dysproteinemia, which one leading causes decubital ulcers patients with spinal cord injury. Early nutrition partially solved this problem, but incidence bedsores still remains high and reaches 68%. The risk metabolic disorders acute period injury largely determined by non-occlusive intestinal ischemia against back...

Based on agglutination, complement fixation, bactericidal, and opsonization tests, it is evident that suspensions of a Bacteroides sp. isolated from the mouse intestine and given by parenteral routes do not initiate antibody formation in mice. Rats also respond poorly to the antigenic stimulus. In contrast, suspensions of other bacterial species isolated from the rodent intestine are highly imm...

Key physiological functions of the intestine are governed by nerves and neurotransmitters. This complex control relies on two neuronal systems: an extrinsic innervation supplied by the two branches of the autonomic nervous system and an intrinsic innervation provided by the enteric nervous system. As a result of constant exposure to commensal and pathogenic microflora, the intestine developed a...

Mineral additives in the form of inorganic salts such as sulfates or oxides various metals are poorly absorbed by body. At same time, assimilation organic amino acids, which more similar structure to a living cell, occurs much greater volume, indicating that many forms trace elements accessible than ones. The analysis and study effect mineral complex based on L-aspartic acid microbiological sta...

The indigenous microflora of the human large intestine is a complex ecosystem consisting of several hundred species of microorganisms [5]. The composition of the microflora is remarkably stable; the species coexist without one or a few becoming dominant [12]. One of its most important contributions to the host is its ability to impede the colonization of the intestinal tract by nonindigenous mi...

The microflora in the gastrointestinal tract of broiler chickens influences digestion, health, and wellbeing. Analysis of chicken gut microflora has been mainly by culture-based methods. Studies using these techniques have been useful for identification and analysis of specific groups of bacteria, however, the use of enrichment medium precludes even relative quantitation of bacterial species. R...

Quantitative estimates of endothelial cell adhesion molecule expression have revealed that some adhesion molecules [e.g., intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)] are abundantly expressed in different vascular beds under normal conditions. The objective of this study was to determine whether the enteric microflora contribute to the constitutive expression of ICAM-1 and other endothelial cell...
