The background of the research consisted of obtaining mixed cultures of SRB communities from healthy mice and mice with colitis, finding variation in the distribution of their morphology, to determine pH and temperature range tolerance and their possible production of hydrogen sulfide in the small\u2013large intestinal environment. The methods: Microscopic techniques, biochemical, microbiological, and biophysical methods, and statistical processing of the results were used. The results: Variation in the distribution of sulfate-reducing microbial communities were detected. Mixed cultures from mice with ulcerative colitis had 1.39 times higher production of H2S in comparison with samples from healthy mice. The species of Desulfovibrio genus play an important role in diseases of the small\u2013large intestine axis. Meta-analysis was also used for the observation about an SRB occurrence in healthy and not healthy individuals and the same as their metabolic processes. Conclusions: This finding is important for its possible correlation with inflammation of the intestine, where the present of SRB in high concentration plays a major part. It can be a good possible indicator of the occurrence of IBD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm8101656","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,11]],"date-time":"2019-10-11T10:53:03Z","timestamp":1570791183000},"page":"1656","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["The Sulfate-Reducing Microbial Communities and Meta-Analysis of Their Occurrence during Diseases of Small\u2013Large Intestine Axis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8450-7137","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivan","family":"Kushkevych","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Biology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Kamenice 753\/5, 62500 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"O\u013ega","family":"Le\u0161\u010danov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Biology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Kamenice 753\/5, 62500 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dani","family":"Dordevi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Origin Foodstuffs Hygiene and Technology, Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology, University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 61242 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simona","family":"Jan\u010d\u00edkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Origin Foodstuffs Hygiene and Technology, Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology, University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 61242 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Ho\u0161ek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials, Faculty of Science, Palacky University in Olomouc, 78371 Olomouc, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monika","family":"V\u00edt\u011bzov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Biology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Kamenice 753\/5, 62500 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leona","family":"Bu\u0148kov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Environmental Protection Engineering, Faculty of Technology, Tomas Bata University in Zl\u00edn, 76001 Zl\u00edn, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5206-540X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Drago","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences for Health, University of Milan, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1574-6968.1991.tb04799.x","article-title":"Growth and activities of sulphate-reducing bacteria in gut contents of health subjects and patients with ulcerative colitis","volume":"86","author":"Gibson","year":"1991","journal-title":"FEMS Microbiol.
