The intake of probiotic lactic acid bacteria not only promotes digestion through the microbiome regulated host intestinal metabolism but also improves diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease, and suppresses pathogenic harmful bacteria.

Emerging trends in 'smart probiotics' : functional consideration for the development of novel health and industrial applications [PDF]
The link between gut microbiota and human health is well-recognized and described. This ultimate impact on the host has contributed to explain the mutual dependence between humans and their gut bacteria.

Polyphasic taxonomic analysis of Bifidobacterium animalis and Bifidobacterium lactis reveals relatedness at the subspecies level: reclassification of Bifidobacterium animalis as Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. animalis subsp. nov. and Bifidobacterium lactis as Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis subsp. nov. [PDF]
The taxonomic standing of Bifidobacterium lactis and Bifidobacterium animalis was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Sixteen representatives of both taxa were found to be phenotypically similar and shared more than 70% DNA-DNA relatedness (76-100%), which reinforces the conclusions of previous studies in which B. lactis and B.

The gut microbiota evolves rapidly after birth, responding dynamically to environmental factors and playing a key role in short- and long-term health. Lifestyle and rurality have been shown to contribute to differences in the gut microbiome, including ...

Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the gut microbiome of children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: which strains act as health players? [PDF]
Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), considered the leading cause of chronic liver disease in children, can often progress from non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Significance Many millions of people take probiotics over the counter, but very little is known about what they do and whether they really work. Here we show that in mice, introducing Bifidobacterium, one of the most commonly used probiotics, not only ...

Bifidobacterium catenulatum, Bifidobacterium dentium, and Bifidobacterium angulatum: Three New Species and Their Deoxyribonucleic Acid Homology Relationships [PDF]
Previous studies by us and our colleagues suggested three distinctive deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) homology groups among the bifidobacteria; these were provisionally named “catenulatum,” “dentium,” and “angulatum.” One hundred eighty-four strains isolated from sewage, in addition to many of the strains from the previous study, were investigated and ...

Persistence of Supplemented Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis EVC001 in Breastfed Infants. [PDF]
Attempts to alter intestinal dysbiosis via administration of probiotics have consistently shown that colonization with the administered microbes is transient. This study sought to determine whether provision of an initial course of Bifidobacterium longum
