    Sammanfattning : The gastrointestinal microflora, the largest single collection of cells in the body, influence their human host in a variety of ways. Useful in this connection is the concept of Microflora-Associated Characteristics (MACs), which are defined as any anatomical structure or physiological, biochemical or immunological function in the host that is affected by the microflora.
