Achieving a substantial reduction in the bacterial flora of the gut is a theoretically attractive means of treating inflammatory bowel disease, particularly colonic disease. There are practical difficulties in obtaining a sustained reduction of the colonic bacterial count, and the potential role of such a treatment regimen is therefore the initiation of remission. The data in the literature supporting such a suggestion are anecdotal, and a controlled study is indicated.
大幅减少肠道细菌群落从理论上来说是治疗炎症性肠病，尤其是结肠疾病的一种颇具吸引力的方法。要持续降低结肠细菌数量存在实际困难，因此这种治疗方案的潜在作用是引发病情缓解。文献中支持这一观点的数据多为轶事性的，所以需要进行对照研究。
