Indigenous intestinal microflora are known to afford protection against colonization by pathogenic microorganisms. However, the metabolic activity of at least one species of the indigenous microflora can induce expression of surface glycoconjugates, which may in turn confer susceptibility to infection.
已知本土肠道微生物群可提供保护,防止病原微生物定殖。然而,至少一种本土微生物群的代谢活性可诱导表面糖缀合物的表达,这反过来可能会使人易受感染。
