[Bacterial intestinal microflora of patients with a constipation syndrome].

The authors studied the bacterial intestinal microflora (BIMF) according to Henel method in 28 patients with constipation syndrome. The following was found: --Normal ratio of BIMF in one patient; --Reduced percentage participation of anaerobic lactobacteria in 18 patients; --Increased number of Escherichia coli in 3 patients; --Proteus was over 100 000 in 1.0 feces in 6 patients or in 27 out of 28 patients dysbiosis was found. The authors explained the disturbances of the normal BIMF with the retention of feces in the large intestine, providing conditions for mass bacterial proliferation.
