Dysbacteria

Dysbacteria (from the Latin bacillum / bacteria : chopsticks, sticks, stick and gr. Dys : defining word for “faulty, bad, disturbed”) describes a disease process that is caused by a bacterial flora in the intestine or oral cavity that deviates qualitatively or quantitatively from the norm. Throat space is raised. A disturbance of only the intestinal flora is also known as dysbiosis . This leads to an increased formation of fermentation and putrefaction products . The cause is considered to be the disruption of the natural antagonism between fermentation and putrefactive bacteria, which is dependent on the pH value of the respective intestinal section. The main representatives of the fermentation bacteria in the large intestine are Escherichia coli and, of the putrefactive bacteria, Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas pyocyanea .

An undisturbed balance of the bacterial flora that is not relevant to the disease is called a eubacteria .
