Alterations in intestinal motility and bacterial overgrowth in gut may predispose to the development of bacteraemia and endotoxaemia in cirrhotic patients which play a role in the hyperdynamic circulatory syndrome of cirrhosis. Probiotic therapy is aimed at changing the make-up of the indigenous microflora by administering specific strains of non-pathogenic and potentially beneficial microflora. In this study, the investigators hypothesize that a modification in the composition of the endogenous digestive microflora by oral bacteriotherapy with high potency probiotic preparations could be a safe way to regulate the portal pressure.
