[Growth of anaerobes of the upper small intestine using the glovebox technic]

With 80 patients a microecologic analysis of the duodenal flora has been performed. Due to the optimal cultivation technique with the glove-box more frequently as supposed till now, anaerobes with partial high numbers could be detected, and classified to different types of dysbiosis. A striking role among the isolated and classified gram-positive roots play the genera Eubacterium, Propionibacterium, Actinomyces, and Bifidobacterium. Peptococcus and Peptostreptococcus are to be found frequently, too. Furthermore the numbers of gram-negative anaerobes are high.
