1.   Erythromycin prevents bacterial overgrowth in the gut etc. during transport.

2.   Furthermore, the interpretation of the SeHCAT test may be influenced by the presence of bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.

3.   Faecal bile acid loss in cystic fibrosis is unrelated to the presence of intraluminal fat or intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

4.   Increased breath hydrogen excretion after the ingestion of glucose and increased breath hydrogen excretion in the fasting state, is a useful indicator of intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

5.   Although intestinal stricture and associated bacterial overgrowth are well recognised in chronic radiation enteritis, in most cases the pathophysiology of the diarrhoea is uncertain.

6.   There was no evidence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in the patients -- that is, no early rise in breath hydrogen concentrations after oral lactose or lactulose.

7.   Loss of the gastric acid barrier may lead to recurrent enteric infections, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, persistent diarrhoea, and thus malnutrition.

8.   Rats were divided into a control group, an antibiotic pretreated group, and a bacterial overgrowth group.
