Abstract:
Through application of bacterial biotherapeutic agents on clinical practice, we determined that Lactobacillus GG strains have high effect in treatment for acute diarrhea without blood, colitis caused by Clostridum difficile, diarrhea related to erythromycin, diarrhea with Rotavirus(+). Enterococcus faecium SF68 strain have also good effect in treatment for non-specific acute diarrhea. Steptococcus hemophilus have good effect in prophylaxis treatment. Saccharomyces boulardii was non-bacterial biotherapeutic agents. Only one type of enzyme has proved effectiveness in vivo and in vitro. Saccharomyces boulardii was considered by WHO as a useful agent in treatment for chronic colitis, recurrent colitis related to Clostridium difficile. Freeze-dried Saccharomyces boulardii has less side effects and easy to use
