Immunological Function of Intestinal Microflora, Morphological Features, Its Disorders and Correction Possibilities

Abstract

The article presents modern data indicating that normal microflora plays an important role in the development of the intestinal immune system. Intestinal microorganisms stimulate the maturation of intestinal lymphoid tissue, the synthesis of secretory immunoglobulin A, activate phagocytosis, stimulate the cytokine and interferon system. It is of interest to discuss the phenomenon of tolerance, which is of great importance for the formation of a stable micro-biocenosis. Probiotics are increasingly being used for the controlled formation or restoration of abnormal micro-biocenosis. Confirmation of the beneficial properties of each strain of probiotic culture in controlled clinical trials is recognized as one of the key requirements for probiotics.
