What microbes are in your large intestine?

The final five feet of your gastrointestinal tract, your large intestine or colon, has almost no oxygen. By the time food reaches your colon, your body's work of digestion is almost over. The remaining task for your large intestine is to remove the excess water from what's left of your food, or feces, over the next 12 to 24 hours. If the feces stay in the colon any longer, they will become dehydrated and impacted as more water is removed. On the other hand, feces that travel too quickly through the colon as the result of intestine-damaging infections for example, result in loose stools, or diarrhea. The slow pace in your colon makes it an ideal place for microbes to colonize. Your colon contains more than 500 different species of bacteria living in a 3-pound mass of partially digested food, with one trillion organisms per gram of feces. The microbes in this part of your digestive system include Enterococci, Clostridia, and Lactobacilli, but by far the most abundant species are Bacteroides and the oxygen-intolerant, lactic acid-producing Bifidobacterium. Probiotic microbes outnumber potential pathogens like E.coliby as much as ten thousand to one. Bacteria make up about 60% of the weight of your feces, and you excrete your own weight in fecal bacteria every year.
