The bacteria 'normally' present in the colon are not harmful, unless immunity is lowered. You call them commensals. Means harmless. But there importance in the body is recognized once they are killed by broad spectrum antibiotics. You get the super-infection by Clostridium difficile of Candida albicans. Then your life is endangered. Unless you get it treated by metronidazole 400 mg thrice a day for 3 to 5 days in adults. And suspension metronidazole in children according to body surface area.
