Influence of Maternal Bifidobacteria on the Development of Gut Bifidobacteria in Infants [PDF]
Pharmaceuticals, 2012 Intestinal microbiota plays an important role in human health by influencing metabolic activities that result in the creation of energy and absorbable nutrients, a barrier to the colonization of pathogens, and stimulation of the immune system.

Infant-Type Bifidobacteria as Biocontrol Agents: Suppressing Listeria monocytogenes via Key Virulence Gene Alteration [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical MicrobiologyInfant-type bifidobacteria exhibit potential as targeted biocontrol agents against Listeria monocytogenes infections. However, the strain-specific antimicrobial efficacy and molecular mechanisms remain insufficiently characterized.

A CRISPRi Gene Regulation System for Bifidobacteria [PDF]
Microbial BiotechnologyThis work describes the development of a CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) system for targeted gene repression in bifidobacteria. We first validated the CRISPRi‐based approach using Bifidobacterium breve strains engineered to express nuclease‐dead orthologs ...

Plant Glycan Metabolism by Bifidobacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Members of the genus Bifidobacterium, of which the majority have been isolated as gut commensals, are Gram-positive, non-motile, saccharolytic, non-sporulating, anaerobic bacteria. Many bifidobacterial strains are considered probiotic and therefore are thought to bestow health benefits upon their host.

Carbohydrate metabolism in Bifidobacteria [PDF]
Genes & Nutrition, 2011 Members of the genus Bifidobacterium can be found as components of the gastrointestinal microbiota, and are believed to play an important role in maintaining and promoting human health by eliciting a number of beneficial properties. Bifidobacteria can utilize a diverse range of dietary carbohydrates that escape degradation in the upper parts of the ...

Genomic Insights into Bifidobacteria [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2010 SUMMARYSince the discovery in 1899 of bifidobacteria as numerically dominant microbes in the feces of breast-fed infants, there have been numerous studies addressing their role in modulating gut microflora as well as their other potential health benefits. Because of this, they are frequently incorporated into foods as probiotic cultures.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of bifidobacteria [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2005 The aim of our study was to analyse the antibiotic susceptibility of various strains of Bifidobacterium spp. to a wide range of antimicrobial agents.Fifty strains belonging to eight species of bifidobacteria, isolated from humans, animals or probiotic products, were tested for susceptibility to 30 antibiotics by disc diffusion on Brucella agar ...

Getting better with bifidobacteria [PDF]
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2005 The last 20 years has seen a tremendous increase in commercial and consequent scientific interest in members of the genus Bifidobacterium. Bifidobacteria are Gram-positive procaryotes that naturally inhabit the gastrointestinal tract of humans and other warm-blooded animals.
