Abstract
Description
The role of symbiotic microbial flora for the human body has been proven since the 19th century. This is connected with the name of the great Russian scientist I. I. Mechnikov. Back in 1907, he wrote that the numerous associations of microbes inhabiting the human intestine largely determine his physical health. In recent years, reliable evidence has been obtained that the intestinal microflora performs important physiological functions, including supporting the immune properties of the body.
