Scientific developments in recent years have opened new frontiers and enable a better understanding of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) as a complex and delicately balanced ecosystem. This paper focuses on more recent information related to the microbial population of the GIT and its functional role in human physiology and health. Special attention is also given to modern approaches for improving or stabilising the intestinal system and its functioning by the deliberate application of viable microbial cultures, so-called 'probiotics', selected for special functional properties.
近年来的科学发展开辟了新的领域，使人们能够更好地将胃肠道（GIT）理解为一个复杂且微妙平衡的生态系统。本文聚焦于与胃肠道微生物群落及其在人体生理和健康中的功能作用相关的最新信息。同时，还特别关注通过有意应用具有特殊功能特性的活微生物培养物（即所谓的“益生菌”）来改善或稳定肠道系统及其功能的现代方法。
