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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Biomodification of acenocoumarol by bifidobacteria
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2021 ABSTRACT The increased interest of consumers in probiotic foods requires a deeper knowledge on the possible interactions with drugs, because their pharmacological properties could be modified. In this context, these studies are relevant for drugs such as acenocoumarol, whose dosage must be controlled due to, among other factors, food ...

Susceptibility of bifidobacteria to nisin [PDF]
Letters in Applied Microbiology, 1998 A collection of 17 bifidobacteria was tested for sensitivity or resistance to lantibiotic nisin. Minimal inhibitory concentration of the strain tested was highly variable, ranging from 4.88 to 10,000 IU-1. In general, strains isolated from faecal samples were more resistant than those purchased from culture collections. These results could be useful in
