In Vitro Utilization of Prebiotics by .

is an emerging pathogen responsible for the serious foodborne disease, listeriosis. The commensal gut microbiota is the first line of defense against pathogen internalization. The gut microbiome can be modified by prebiotic substrates, which are frequently added to food products and dietary supplements.

In vitro digestion and characterization of selenized Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia fermentans and probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii.

Background And Objective: Yeasts have the remarkable capability to transform and integrate inorganic selenium into their cellular structures, thereby enhancing its bioavailability and reducing its toxicity. In recent years, yeasts have attracted attention as potential alternative sources of protein.

Methods: This study explores the selenium accumulation potential of two less explored yeast strains, namely the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii CCDM 2020 and Pichia fermentas CCDM 2012, in comparison to the extensively studied Saccharomyces cerevisiae CCDM 272.

sp. nov., a novel member of the phylogenetic group isolated from faeces of a dog ( f. ).

A fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase-positive strain (GSD1FS) was isolated from a faecal sample of a 3 weeks old German Shepherd dog. The closest related taxa to isolate GSD1FS based on results from the EZBioCloud database were subsp. ATCC 25527, subsp.

Enteral Nutrition as a Growth Medium for Cultivable Commensal Bacteria and Its Effect on Their Quantity in the Stool of Children with Crohn's Disease.

Current studies indicate a link between the intake of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) and the induction of complex changes in the intestinal microbiota, as well as the clinical improvement of Crohn's disease (CD). The first aim of this study was to test the ability of various commensal bacterial strains ( = 19) such as bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, and to grow on three different polymeric EN . Tested EN formulas were found to be suitable growth media for tested commensals.

Influence of human milk oligosaccharides on adherence of bifidobacteria and clostridia to cell lines.

Adhesion of gut bacteria to the intestinal epithelium is the first step in their colonization of the neonatal immature gut. Bacterial colonization of the infant gut is influenced by several factors, of which the most important are the mode of delivery and breast-feeding. Breast-fed infants ingest several grams of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) per day, which can become receptor decoys for intestinal bacteria.
