The colonic microflora is an organism that performs a variety of unique activities. It is more important to evaluate these activities than to analyze bacterial composition in terms of genera, species, or strains. Unless the bacteria translocate, it is the activities of the colonic microflora that affect colonic and systemic physiology and not the bacteria themselves.
结肠微生物群是一种能进行多种独特活动的生物体。评估这些活动比从属、种或菌株层面分析细菌组成更为重要。除非细菌发生易位，否则影响结肠和全身生理功能的是结肠微生物群的活动，而非细菌本身。
