Resumen
Los microorganismos cecales de ratones infectados con Trichuris muris fueron examinados y contados cada semana durante su ciclo de desarrollo. La población de bacterias ce cales fue de Escheriehia eoli, Proteus spp., Acinetobacter lwoffi (Mima polymorpha), lactobacilos aeróbicos, stafilococos, enterobacterias y anerobios (bacteroides, stafilococos y lacto bacilos) tanto en ratones infectados con T. muris como en los testigos. En ambos grupos los organismos más numerosos fueron los lactobacilos aeróbicos y los anerobios. Durante la tercera semana hubo una disminución en el número de estos organismos, y durante la cuarta semana hubo menos de éstos y de los demás organismos en los ratones infectados que en los testigos. Los recuentos bacterianos más reducidos se observaron durante el período de auto cura de T. muris.Citas
