Abstrakt		Humans gastrointestinal tract (GI) colonises a wide variety of bacteria. The concentration of micro-organisms (MO) is increasing from sparsely populated stomach, where it is between 10 ond 100 MO per ml, through doudenum and small intestine to luxurionl bacterial flora in large intestine, where concentration of bacteria reaches between 10(11) and 10(12) colonies per ml of intestinal contents. The most of them are in large intestine, where anaerobes predominate with their reach metabolic activity. Colonisation of Gl accurs already ot birth and so interactions between gut flora and diet start, change with age and in the case of diseases. Initial colonisation of bacteria in neonate gut is especially influenced by subsequent factors: diet of mother during pregnancy, type of delivery, diet of baby (breast-fed or bottle fed) and gestation age. Interactions between nutrition and gut flora are very complex. As the nutrition of the host (human) influences the survival and metabolism of microflora in the intestine, so does microflora affect the nutrient absorption and digestion. Some products of bacterial degradation or synthesis have beneficial effects on human; the others are patentially determinal On predominance of beneficial or determinal bacterial metobolites, nutrition has a profound effect.
