Central Nervous System and the Colonic Bioreactor: Analysis of Colonic Microbiota in Patients with Stroke Unravels Unknown Mechanisms of the Host Defense after Brain Injury

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

by life threatening septic complications. The origin of the quickly changing polymicrobial infectious events is the endogenous flora from the skin, oro-pharynx, uro-genital region and colon. The colon is the largest reservoir for bacteria. The colon is physiologically seen a bioreactor.
