The dysbiosis , a dysbacteria refers to an imbalance of intestinal flora . The bacterial community can be disturbed by excessive alcohol consumption, drugs such as antibiotics and cortisone, or malnutrition . In addition, diseases such as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency can be the cause of dysbiosis.
The harmful foreign flora include z. B. the putrefactive bacteria of the species Proteus , Klebsiella , Pseudomonas , Sarcina , also yeasts such as Candida albicans , Candida crusei , Candida glabrata , Candida tropicalis and molds such as Aspergillus fumigatus and pathogenic representatives of Colibacteria . The healthy opposite is called eubiosis or in general with a bacterial flora or a microbiome : eubacteria .
Symptoms
- severe flatulence
- Susceptibility to infections (weakening of the immune system )
- Cravings (especially for sweets)
- permanent white coating on the tongue
- depressive moods
Diagnosis
The pH of the stool is examined. In addition to the qualitative stool examination for obligate pathogenic agents such as Salmonella , Campylobacter , Yersinia , Shigella and pathogenic representatives of the Clostridia , the quantitative intestinal flora analysis is offered as a self-payment service. The quantitative intestinal flora analysis includes a determination of the germ count of aerobic and anaerobic indicator germs. These are part of the so-called protective flora. In addition, germs with a pronounced proteolytic metabolism and fungi are determined. A laboratory finding can contain indications of incorrect colonization and corresponding therapy recommendations.
