In our digestive system, there is a complex world of microorganisms. Some of these micro-organisms play an active role in our digestive function, while others can cause diseases that require treatment and prevention using anti-bacterial means. The following are some of the key knowledge of digestive antibacteria.
I. Common pathogens in the digestive system
1. Sphinx: This is a very common and more dangerous pathogens. It lives mainly in the human stomach and in the intestines, and can be infected through oral transmission, such as sharing meals, kissing, etc. Sphinx infection is a major cause of chronic stomach inflammation and digestive ulcer, and long-term infections can increase the risk of stomach cancer. Patients may experience stomach pains, stomach swelling, anti-acid acids, gasses and other symptoms after infection, which seriously affect the quality of life.
Big intestinal bacterium: In the digestive system, large intestinal bacterium is more common. In most cases, coliform is a normal fungus in the intestinal tract, which benefits human health and is involved in food digestion and nutrient absorption. However, when human immunity decreases or the intestinal environment changes, certain pathogenic coliforms may cause infection, causing symptoms such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain and vomiting. It is transmitted mainly through contaminated food and water.
3. Shigeella: This is the main pathogens that cause bacterial dysentery. Following the infection, the patient suffers from acute abdominal pain, diarrhoea and faeces with slime and sepsis, accompanied by all-body symptoms of fever and inactivity. This bacteria is transmitted mainly through dung and is more common in areas with poor sanitation.
Salmonella: It is also one of the common pathogens that causes gastrointestinal infections, often transmitted through food, such as contaminated meat, eggs, dairy products, etc. Infected with salmonella, patients suffer from fever, abdominal pain and diarrhoea, which can lead to dehydration and shock in serious cases.
II. Application of antibacterials in digestives
1. Principles for the selection of antibacterial drugs:
• Choosing on pathogen: Identifying the type of fungi is key to the choice of antibacterial drugs. For example, in the case of cholesterococcal infections, the usual treatment is a combination of two antibiotics using proton pump inhibitors, such as caracin, Ammosilin, Metrazine, etc.; in the case of diarrhoea caused by coliform infections, antibactone- and headbacterin-types can be selected on the basis of drug sensitivity tests.
Consider the severity of the condition: People with mild disorders may choose oral antibacterial drugs for treatment, while those with moderate severity may need intravenous antibacterial drugs to ensure that the drug can rapidly reach an effective concentration to control infection. There may also be a need for a joint use of multiple antibacterials to enhance antibacterial effectiveness for persons with acute illnesses.
• Combining individual differences in the patient: factors such as age, liver and kidney function, and allergies affect the choice of antibacterial drugs. For example, patients with incomplete liver function should avoid the use of antibacterial drugs that harm the liver, while patients with incomplete kidney function need to adjust the dose of antibacterial drugs to the kidney function.
2. Attention to the use of anti-bacterial drugs:
• Strict control of the course of treatment: the course of treatment of antibacterial drugs should be determined by the type of fungi, the area of infection and the severity of the patient’s condition. Short sessions may result in the pathogen being completely removed and prone to relapse; long sessions may increase the risk of bacterial resistance.
• Note the adverse effects of drugs: antibacterials may have various adverse effects in the course of treatment, such as allergies, gastrointestinal responses, and damage to liver and kidney function. During the use of antibacterial drugs, the doctor should closely observe the patient ‘ s symptoms and the patient himself should provide timely feedback to the doctor on the anomalies.
• Avoiding the abuse of anti-bacterial drugs: The abuse of anti-bacterial drugs is an important cause of increased bacterial resistance. In digestives, antibacterial drugs are only necessary for patients who are clearly diagnosed with bacterial infections and should not be used blindly for viral infections or other non-infective diseases.
III. Antibacterial prevention in everyday life
Maintain good eating habits:
• Attention to food hygiene: non-smoking, cold food and avoiding the consumption of contaminated food and water. When cooking food, it is important to ensure that it is well prepared, especially for foods that are easily carrying pathogens, such as meat and eggs. Wash your hands before eating and develop good hygiene habits.
• Rational diet: maintenance of a balanced and diversified diet, with more food rich in vitamins and food fibres, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, helps to increase the body’s immunity and prevent the infection of pathogens.
2. Maintenance of intestinal micro-ecological balance:
• Supplementary fungi: it regulates intestinal strains, enhances intestinal barriers and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. Common prophylactic bacteria, such as bipolar bacteria, acidic yogurt, can maintain a micro-ecological balance in the intestinal tract by eating foods containing prophylactic bacteria, such as yogurt, or by supplementing prophylactic formulations.
• Avoid overuse of antibiotics: avoid, if necessary, the use of antibiotics to the extent possible, so as to avoid the disruption of normal strains in the intestinal tract, leading to micro-ecological imbalances in the intestinal tract and increasing the risk of pathogen infections.
3. Periodic medical check-ups and screening: For high-risk groups, such as those suffering from stomach diseases such as chronic stomachitis and stomach ulcer, as well as those with family history of stomach cancer, cholesterosomosis tests and gastroscope examinations should be conducted on a regular basis for the early detection and treatment of cactus infections and related diseases.
In short, antibacterials are important in digestives, but we should also properly recognize and rationalize the use of antibacterials, while focusing on preventive measures in everyday life in order to maintain the health of the digestive system. Only then can we enjoy better food and have a healthy life.
