The action of food rations on the process of multiplication and development of intestinal enterococci was tested in order to highlight their influence on the health of the intestinal tract. In the study were used four food rations with various caloric structure tested on laboratory animals - white rats, Wistar line. It was established that all the investigated rations differentially influenced the multiplication and development of enterococci. Based on the obtained results, it can be stated that the quantitative indices of enterococci, to a large extent, depend on the composition of food rations. Therefore, we consider that their numerical value can be regulated and maintained not only by microbial preparations with probiotic action but also by the use of food rations, which reflect the prebiotic influence of intestinal enterococci.
