Bacteriological test of feces for dysbacteriosis with the determination of sensitivity to antibiotics

The human intestine is inhabited by ~ 3 kg of bacteria. They represent the microflora necessary for normal digestion, but with various failures, the number of some microorganisms may decrease markedly — dysbiosis will occur — a violation of the balance of bacteria.

The consequences of such a long-term condition can be "unpleasant":

• vitamin deficiency; 
• chronic enterocolitis; 
• anemia; gastroduodenitis; pancreatitis.

But also life-threatening:

• peritonitis;
• sepsis;
• colorectal cancer:

Before taking a sample, it is necessary to follow the rules of preparation:

1. Fecal sample collection should be carried out immediately after defecation from a pre-disinfected, thoroughly washed, rinsed with boiling water and air-cooled lining vessel or pot;
2. To exclude the collection of fecal using toilet paper, because the presence of barium salts on the surface of toilet paper inhibits the growth of certain intestinal pathogens;
3. Exclude the possibility of contamination (mixing) of fecal samples with urine, as it is possible to obtain unreliable results;
4. The fecal sample is taken immediately after defecation using a spoon –spatula mounted in the lid of a sterile container. In the presence of pathological impurities, select areas containing mucus, pus, flakes, but free of blood. Remove liquid stool using a disposable Pasteur pipette;
