[Experimental grounds for administration of probiotic drugs in conditions of hydroweightlessness]
Abstract:
We studied pharyngeal microflora in 22 healthy volunteers after 7-day dry immersion. For prophylactic pharyngeal dysbiosis, we used two probiotic drugs: oral -- "lactobacterin dry" and local --"lactobacterin immobilized on collagen". Administration of oral probiotic was accompanied with growth of pharyngeal opportunistic microflora preventing translocation of intestinal microflora. Local probiotic, on the contrary, decreased opportunistic microflora in the pharynx, but was associated with gastrointestinal dysbiosis. It is evident that combined use of topic and oral probiotic provides maximal effective prophylaxis of pharyngeal dysbiosis.
