In the human body, there are many different bacteria, most of which are only potentially dangerous. These conditionally pathogenic microorganisms coexist for most of the time with people within the framework of symbiosis - mutually beneficial "cooperation" or exchange. Less often they enter into a competitive relationship, causing infectious diseases and inflammation.
What is a conditionally pathogenic microflora?
The considered group of microorganisms includes bacteria, fungi, protozoa and, possibly, some viruses. As a rule, they are normal representatives of the biocenosis of the mucous membranes and skin.
An excellent example of symbiotic interaction can be considered a conditionally pathogenic intestinal microflora. Bacteria are obtained from the body:
- nutrients;
- protection from ultraviolet radiation and other damaging factors;
- maintaining acceptable humidity and temperature.
In turn, these microorganisms provide:
- synthesis of vitamins;
- splitting of proteins;
- struggle against pathogenic flora;
- support of the immune system;
- stimulation of activity of useful microorganisms.
What are the dangerous pathogens of enterobacteria?
When the external circumstances that contribute to the maintenance of a normal ratio of the necessary and pathogenic microbes change, there is an imbalance (dysbiosis or dysbacteriosis ). This leads to a variety of violations from those bodies and systems in which the failure occurred.
To solve this problem, it is necessary to accurately identify the causative agent of pathology, having passed the analysis to the conditionally pathogenic flora. In the framework of this study, the sensitivity of microorganisms to various groups and names of antibacterial drugs is usually additionally determined. This allows you to immediately assign a highly effective treatment, minimizing the harmful effect
It is worth noting that if opportunistic enterobacteria have been found in feces, there is likely to be extensive damage to the entire digestive tract, not just the intestine. Therefore, even adequate antibiotics will not be enough for monotherapy, complex treatment including enzymatic and cholagogic medications, hepatoprotectors, antispasmodics and antifoams will be required. In addition, for the restoration of normal microflora, special drugs with bifido- and lactobacilli are prescribed.
