对29例健康婴幼儿粪便植物群与49例年龄和社会经济状况相似的急性胃肠炎患儿粪便进行比较。在健康儿童的粪便中最常见的微生物是双歧杆菌、韦荣氏菌、肠杆菌和肠球菌，其中厌氧菌多于需氧菌。正常粪便植物群的大多数成员存在于腹泻粪便中，但厌氧菌的数量显著减少，肠杆菌显著增加，从而改变了厌氧菌与需氧菌的比例。植物群的改变与病原体的性质或腹泻的严重程度无关。这些变化似乎是结肠炎状态改变结肠环境的直接结果。在28例分离出细菌病原体的患者中，有13例的病原体是主要的粪便微生物。
The fecal flora of 29 healthy infants and young children was compared with that of 49 children of similar age and socio-economic status with acute gastroenteritis. In the healthy children the most common organisms in the feces were bifidobacteria, veillonellae, enterobacteria and enterococci with anaerobes outnumbering aerobes. Most members of the normal fecal flora were present in the diarrheal stools, but anaerobes were significantly reduced in number and enterobacteria were significantly increased, thereby altering the ratio of anaerobes to aerobes. The alterations in the flora were not related to the nature of the etiological agent or to the severity of the diarrhea. The changes appeared to be a direct result of the altered colonic environment produced by the diarrheal state. In 13 of the 28 patients from whom bacterial pathogens were isolated, the pathogens were the predominant fecal organisms.
