Are Bifidobacterium Species Key Players in the Progression of Type 1 Diabetes? A Systematic Review. [PDF]
Bifidobacterium are generally considered beneficial bacteria, and are found in probiotic formulations currently being trialled for type 1 diabetes (T1D) prevention. In this systematic review, we find that there is a reduction in Bifidobacterium species after T1D diagnosis and an increase or no change in Bifidobacterium abundance in those at risk of T1D.
