Summary

Introduction

Ko p e ã n J . , J . ·imÛnek : Cellulolytic Bcteria in Human Gut and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Acta Vet. All experiments were designed for three groups of stool donors: healthy individuals, patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) diagnosis before and after treatment by prebiotic preparation Hylak Tropfen Forte. After treatment with Hylak Tropfen Forte the counts of facultative anaerobes and sulphate reducing bacteria decreased and proportion of cellulolytic bacteria increased significantly and were closer to numbers in faecal samples from healthy persons. This activity could be a possible indicator of irritable bowel syndrome. Starch degradation was significantly depressed in IBS patients and lower concentrations of acetate, propionate and butyrate were found. After treatment with Hylak Tropfen Forte bacterial degradation of these polysaccharides increased but not to the levels of the control group
