Abstract
The colonic microflora is an organism that performs a variety of uniqu e activities. It is more important to evaluate these activities than t o analyze bacterial composition in terms of genera, species, or strain s. Unless the bacteria translocate, it is the activities of the coloni c microflora that affect colonic and systemic physiology and not the b acteria themselves.
