[Intestinal microflora and antibiotic therapy].
Antibiotic therapy is one of the major factors leading to disturbances in the intestinal flora. This can lead to chronic diarrhea and life threatening pseudomembranous colitis. Much attention had recently been focused on so-called translocation of endotoxins and bacteria through the intestinal wall which lead to systemic infection, shock and multiorgan failure. Prevention is based on the proper choice of antibiotic and administration of lactic-acid bacteria.
