This review summarizes the results from national and international studies regarding the quantitative and qualitative composition of intestinal microbiota in health and the dominance of certain bacteria in the intestinal microbiota of obese children. Moreover, we discuss the relationships between the development of obesity and the changes in the composition and metabolic activity of intestinal microbiota in children. These analyses are of scientific interest from the perspective of finding new targets and approaches to conservative management aimed at preventing and treating obesity through the restoration of intestinal microflora.
