Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) alone therapy is as effective as mesalamine in inducing and maintaining remission in ulcerative colitis (UC). The efficacy and safety of EcN in combination with standard therapies have not been studied. This study examined the changes in the inflammation markers and symptoms following the additional administration of EcN to patients showing the clinical remission of UC.
