ABSTRACT
Thymectomy in puberal rats resulted in the development of pronounced enteric dysbacteriosis, correlating with the degree of T- and B-lymphocyte deficiency in the lymphoid organs and the blood stream during the first 2 months. Microbiocenosis restores probably due to more intensive functioning of alternative regulating mechanisms. A simple and informative characteristic indicating the degree of dysbacteriosis developing in the intestine is proposed: the index of dysbacteriosis.
