ANTIBIOTIC ASSOCIATIVE DISORDERS OF THE MICROBIOCENOSIS OF THE COLON IN INFANTS WITH ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISEASES.

Abstract

The aim: Study the effect of antibiotics of different groups on the condition of the colon microflora in infants with acute respiratory pathology. Materials and methods: 140 infants with acute respiratory pathology were examined. Clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination, assessment of the functional state of all organs and systems, chest x ray, clinical signs of the colon microbiocenosis violation, analysis of bacteriological examination and immunological studies of local colon immunity (immunoglobulin concentration (sIgA, IgA, IgG, IgM) in coprofiltrates) were done. Results: The negative effect of antibiotics of different pharmacological groups on the colon microflora state in infants with acute respiratory diseases has been established. The indigenous microflora of the colon is most inhibited by drugs from the group of 3rd generation cephalosporins, aminoglycosides and their combination. While cephalosporins 1-2nd generations, penicillins and macrolides to a lesser extent affect the state of the microbiocenosis of the colon. The use of two courses of antibacterial therapy to a greater extent disrupts the microbiocenosis of the colon in the examined children, compared with one course of therapy. In commune acquired pneumonia and acute complicated bronchiolitis in infants on the background of antibiotic therapy there is a probable decrease in secretory immunoglobulin in coprofiltrate (sIgA), compared with healthy children (p <0.05). Conclusions: The analysis of the obtained results showed that antibiotic therapy negatively affects not only the condition of the colon microflora in the examined children, but also suppresses humoral factors of local immunity of the colonic mucosa. Key words: digestive tract microbiocenosis, antibiotic therapy, children.
