Abstract

The review presents  current  data  indicating  that normal   microflora  plays  an  important  role  in the development of intestinal immune system. Intestinal microorganisms stimulate maturation of intestinal  lymphoid  tissue, synthesis  of secretory immunoglobulin A,  activate  phagocytosis, stimulate  the  cytokine and  interferon  system. Of interest is the discussion of tolerance  phenomenon which is highly significant for formation of a stable   micro-biocenosis. Probiotics are increasingly used for controlled  formation  or restoration  of abnormal micro-biocenosis. Confirmation of the useful properties  of every strain of a probiotic culture in controlled clinical trials is recognized as one of the key requirements to probiotics.
