Three Lactobacillus-like strains, NB53T, NB446T and NB702, were isolated from traditional fermented food in Thailand. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains belong to the Lactobacillus plantarum group. Phylogenetic analysis based on the dnaK, rpoA, pheS and recA gene sequences indicated that these three strains were distantly related to known species present in the L.

Article Synopsis
  • Child living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) requires hospitalization for both a child patient and a parent, which creates significant challenges for the family.
  • Families with siblings of the child experience heightened stress and anxiety regarding child care and development, compared to families without siblings.
  • Siblings often face emotional stress and mental health issues, indicating a need for special support for families undergoing LDLT, particularly those with siblings.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Mayumi Yoshino"

  • - Mayumi Yoshino's research spans microbiology and pediatric medicine, with a focus on the isolation and characterization of novel Lactobacillus species from traditional fermented foods and the psychological effects of living donor liver transplantation on families.
  • - In her 2015 study, Yoshino identified and described three new strains of Lactobacillus, highlighting their genetic characteristics and relationships within the Lactobacillus plantarum group, contributing to our understanding of microbial diversity in fermented foods.
  • - Her earlier work examined the familial challenges associated with living donor liver transplantation, particularly focusing on the social and emotional impacts on families with pediatric patients who have siblings, thus providing insights into the need for supportive measures during major medical procedures.
