The authors suggest a scheme for the detection of the etiologic factor of an acute intestinal condition; this scheme permits detecting dysbiotic changes in the microbiocenosis, finding pathogenic or opportunistic microorganisms in fecal culture. Classification of acute intestinal diseases into those induced by pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms, as well as those resultant from acute imbalance of the normal ratio of intestinal bacteria helps carry out differential therapy of patients. The results of such bacteriologic studies may be useful for epidemiologists.
