What do bacteria possess to allow them to adhere to intestinal lining?

Both bacteria and the lining cells of the intestinal tract have to have mutual attractive proteins. These will allow the bacteria affect the other cells. Many do not and they have no bad effect. We do have billions of bacteria that are beneficial and not harmful. The digestive tract is their normal habitat.

How do you treat normal flora?
Avoid eating contaminated food. In some cases, intestinal flora overgrowth can be caused by eating food that has become contaminated with bacteria, such as salmonella or e. coli. Avoid acidic foods. Acidic foods can cause indigestion, which can damage the lining of the stomach and intestines, and lead to an overgrowth of intestinal flora. Avoid complex carbohydrates that are difficult for the body to digest, and may cause intestinal flora to grow and multiply. Avoid starch and eat simple carbohydrates, such as fructose and glucose. Eat yogurt. Fermented yogurt contains beneficial bacteria that competes with intestinal flora for nutrients. Eating extra acidophilus will reduce intestinal flora overgrowth. Take antibiotics. In many cases, taking broad-spectrum antibiotics, such as tetracycline, will thin out the amounts of bacteria throughout the body, effectively treating an overgrowth of intestinal flora.
What are intestinal polyps?
The word polyp refers to any overgrowth of tissue from the surface of mucous membranes. Intestinal polyps grow out of the lining of the small and large bowels. Polyps come in a variety of shapes-round, droplet, and irregular.
What happens in a sigmoidoscopy?

How many people carry the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria?

What does E. coli eat?

Some strains do not know when to stop and will eat the lining of those intestines too! These can cause bloody diarrhea and fatal infections!
What is the lining of the large intestine called?
It is called intestinal lining. Simple.
What lymphatic organ prevents bacteria from breaching the intestinal wall?
Bacteria are prevented from crossing the intestinal wall by the integrity of the intestinal cells, particularly the tight junctions, as well as the mucus lining of the intestines. If bacteria make it into the interstitial space in the intestinal wall, there is a strong diffuse immune system presence in the form of the GALT (gut associated lymphatic tissue) that can quickly move to eliminate trans-locating bacteria. However, there is no specific lymphatic organ, just a collected of lymph nodes and lymph tissues.
What protects the stomach and intestinal lining?
Mucus protects the stomach and intestinal linings.
Can you get DNA from a stool sample?
Yes, there is DNA in "poop". During excretion, cells from the lining of the rectum tend to slough off and there is DNA in these cells. In addition, fecal matter has a large amount of bacteria in it. The bacteria of course have DNA as well.
What is the purpose of all the folds of the intestinal lining?
The intestinal lining is where the absorption of nutrients from food takes place. In order to be efficient the intestinal lining needs as large a surface area as possible and this can be done by folding (for an example, get a piece of paper and fold it up into a concertina, this is the same surface area but reduced length, exactly what happens in the intestinal wall)
Iron in mucosa cell of intestinal membrane lining is attached to?
a carrier
What happens when intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice?
Intestinal glands are located in the epithelial lining of the small intestine and colon. What happens when the intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice is that trypsin activates other enzymes to aid in protein digestion.
Are people dying from gerbils?

What is antral medication?
I suspect you mean antral metaplasia, when some of the cells of the stomach lining change structure and look more like intestinal lining cells.
