Is intestinal bacteria dispensable in humans?
No; having intestinal bacteria is not only normal and healthy, it also necessary for some normal functions of the intestine. Some examples:Vitamin K is made by gut bacteria. At birth, since we haven't yet accumulated these bacteria, and since Mom's vitamin K doesn't cross the placenta well, newborns are invariably vitamin K-deficient. Vitamin K is necessary for proper blood clotting, so newborns have a tendency to bleed more than someone with adequate vitamin K. In the US and other countries, newborns are given a does of vitamin K to help give them what their gut bacteria will be providing them later.The same story goes when people are given antibiotics. Antibiotics kill off not only offending bacteria, but also deplete the gut bacteria. As a result, folks on antibiotics have a tendency to be vitamin K-deficient. To remedy this, hospitalized patients are frequently given vitamin K in addition to their antibiotics.Gut bacteria also have an important role in protecting us from other more dangerous (pathogenic) bacteria. For example, we all have a little bit of a dangerous bacteria called Clostridium difficile hanging around in our guts. In most of us, there's a balance between C. diff and the other less harmful species of bacteria in our guts. When this balance is thrown off, for example, by "gut cleansing" procedures, antibiotics, etc., C. diff and other dangerous bacteria can become overgrown and threaten the normal health of their host.Those are a few examples of how gut bacteria (also called intestinal flora) are helpful and decidedly not dispensable in humans.
