The bacteriology of the gastrointestinal tract is rapidly changing in laboratory techniques and clinical correlations. The flora is found to be very complex, predominantly anaerobic, and importantly dependent on diet. An etiologic role for colon bacteria in colon cancer is suggested by correlations between epidemiologic data and prevalent dietary patterns and stool culture findings. Cultures from aspiration pneumonia, subphrenic abscess, and other intra-abdominal sepsis all yield anaerobes, and for best results antibiotic therapy should combat them as well as aerobes.
胃肠道细菌学在实验室技术和临床关联方面正在迅速变化。人们发现其菌群非常复杂，主要为厌氧菌，且重要的是依赖于饮食。流行病学数据与普遍饮食模式及粪便培养结果之间的关联表明结肠细菌在结肠癌中具有病因学作用。吸入性肺炎、膈下脓肿和其他腹腔内脓毒症的培养物均能培养出厌氧菌，为获得最佳治疗效果，抗生素治疗应同时对抗厌氧菌和好氧菌。
