Normal Microbial Flora

Importance of normal microbial flora in human bodies to maintain optimal health cannot be under estimated. Probiotics or live microorganisms confer health benefit in various diseases. Thus potential of probiotics to maintain health and prevent many disorders without significant adverse effects has opened new options for treating various diseases.

Normal Microbial Flora

The earlier observed pronounced hypogammaglobulinemia in germfree rats of different ages has been confirmed. Using an immunologic technique the concentration of immunologic gamma globulins were found to vary between 10 and 15 per cent of the values observed in ordinary rats. Upon contamination of germfree rats with the normal microbial flora a pronounced lag phase was noted before the gamma globulin level became normal. This lag phase was most pronounced in growing rats. Newborn rats seem to start gamma globulin production more rapidly than older germfree rats. The response with regard to gamma globulin production on contamination of germfree rats with different types of bacterial cells through the natural routes is not identical.

Normal Microbial Flora

The mucosal surface area of the small intestine was determined in young adult, germfree and conventional rats. On the average, the germfree values were found to be 30% lower than those of conventional animals. This reduction was pronounced in the mid- and lower parts of the small intestine and relatively slight in the upper segment. It is assumed that the higher surface area values of conventional rats are due to the "physiologic" stimulation by the normal microbial flora.
