Contamination of the small bowel with an abnormal microflora causes a variety of disturbances of intraluminal digestion and of mucosal function resulting in malabsorption of fat, protein, carbohydrate, electrolytes and vitamin B12. Indirect clinical tests for the presence of small bowel bacterial overgrowth must be supported by careful roentgenologic examination of the small intestine and intestinal aspiration studies to establish a firm pretreatment diagnosis. However, the reversal of absorptive defects by antibacterial therapy is valuable confirmatory evidence.
小肠被异常微生物群污染会导致多种肠腔内消化和黏膜功能紊乱，从而引起脂肪、蛋白质、碳水化合物、电解质和维生素B12吸收不良。小肠细菌过度生长的间接临床检测必须辅以细致的小肠X线检查和肠道抽吸研究，以做出确切的治疗前诊断。然而，抗菌治疗使吸收缺陷得以逆转是有价值的确证依据。
