[The adhesive and colonizing properties of Aerococcus viridans].
On the basis of experiments carried out in the course of this study the conclusion can be made that one of the mechanisms of the preventive effect of aerococci, the representatives of the indigenous microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, lies in their capacity for adhesion to and colonization of the mucous membrane, this enhancing the resistance of the enteric tract to infections. These properties of anterococci substantiate good prospects of using M-bacterin (live lyophilized aerococcal culture) for the control of enteric infections and dysbacteriosis.
