The last 5 years have seen a turning point in the study of the gut microbiota with a rebirth of
culture-dependent approaches to study the gut microbiota. High-throughput methods have …

The acquisition of the infant gut microbiota is key to establishing a host‐microbiota
symbiosis. Microbially produced metabolites tightly interact with the immune system, and the …

At present, the genus Bifidobacterium includes 48 species and subspecies, and this number
is expected to increase. Bifidobacteria are found in different ecological niches. However …

Background: Premature birth results in a delayed and abnormal qualitative pattern of gut
colonization. This abnormal pattern is thought to affect intestinal development and contribute …

A total of 142 human and 88 calf bifidobacteria were isolated and identified;≈ 12% of all
isolated strains exhibited auto-aggregation (Agg) phenotype (Agg+). Properties considered …

Bifidobacterium longum is considered to play an important role in health maintenance of the
human gastrointestinal tract. Probiotic properties of bifidobacterial isolates are strictly strain …

Members from the order Bifidobacteriales, which include many species exhibiting health
promoting effects, differ from all other organisms in using a unique pathway for carbohydrate …

Our aim was to isolate bifidobacteria and clostridia from infant faeces and to test the growth
of bifidobacteria and clostridia on prebiotic oligosaccharides. Seventy breast-fed infants …

Abstract Development of gastrointestinal microflora of calves with special reference to
bifidobacteria was investigated; fecal bacteria were enumerated in calves aged 3 days to 7 …
