Antimicrobial susceptibility of Bifidobacterium

Annales de l'Institut Pasteur / Microbiologie, 1983
The susceptibility pattern of 459 strains of bifidobacteria, representing 15 species, to 16 antimicrobial agents was determined by the broth dilution method. The majority of the strains derived from human faeces. Penicillin G, erythromycin, clindamycin, vancomycin and bacitracin were the most active compounds; they inhibited 90% of the strains at less ...

Phylogenetic classification of six novel species belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium comprising Bifidobacterium anseris sp. nov., Bifidobacterium criceti sp. nov., Bifidobacterium imperatoris sp. nov., Bifidobacterium italicum sp. nov., Bifidobacterium margollesii sp. nov. and Bifidobacterium parmae sp. nov.

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2018
Six Bifidobacterium strains, i.e., Goo31D, Ham19E, Rab10A, Tam1G, Uis4E and Uis1B, were isolated from domestic goose (Anser domesticus), European hamster (Cricetus cricetus), European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator) and pygmy marmoset (Callithrix pygmaea).

Characterization of Bifidobacterium apousia sp. nov., Bifidobacterium choladohabitans sp. nov., and Bifidobacterium polysaccharolyticum sp. nov., three novel species of the genus Bifidobacterium from honey bee gut

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2021
Bifidobacterium is one of the dominating bacterial genera in the honey bee gut, and they are the key degrader of diet polysaccharides for the host. Previous genomic analysis shows that they belong to separate phylogenetic clusters and exhibited different functional potentials in hemicellulose digestion.

The genus Bifidobacterium

1995
The first recorded mention in the annals of science of the name ‘bifidus’ as applied to a cell dates to 1900, when Tissier (1900) discovered in the faeces of breast-fed infants a rod-shaped, Gram-positive, non-gas-producing, anaerobic bacterium with bifid morphology which he termed Bacillus bifidus. At the beginning of the 20th century, Orla-Jensen, in

Bifidobacterium globosum, Subjective Synonym of Bifidobacterium pseudolongum, and Description of Bifidobacterium pseudolongum subsp. pseudolongum comb. nov. and Bifidobacterium pseudolongum subsp. globosum comb. nov.

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 1992
Summary Nineteen strains of Bifidobacterium pseudolongum and Bifidobacterium globosum isolated from various animals were studied with respect to their DNA base compositions, DNA similarities and phenotypic characteristics. These strains were divided into four groups. Three strains (B.

Implementation of Transposon Mutagenesis in Bifidobacterium

2019
Random transposon mutagenesis allows for relatively rapid, genome-wide surveys to detect genes involved in functional traits, by performing screens of mutant libraries. This approach has been widely applied to identify genes responsible for activities of interest in multiple eukaryote and prokaryote organisms, although most studies on microorganisms ...

Collagen Binding of Bifidobacterium adolescentis

Current Microbiology, 1997
In this study, 13 bifidobacterial strains were tested for their ability to adhere to immobilized extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Only two Bifidobacterium adolescentis strains adhered to immobilized type I and type V collagens, but not to laminin, fibronectin, and type III and IV collagens. The adhesion of B.

Carbohydrate metabolism in Bifidobacterium bifidum

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1967
Abstract 1. 1. Washed suspensions of Bifidobacterium bifidum ferment glucose to approx. 1.5 moles of acetate and 1 mole of lactate. Xylose yields 1 mole of acetate and 1 mole of lactate. 2. 2. Aldolase (EC 4.1.2.7) and glucsoe-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) are absent from cell-free extracts of B. bifidum. 3. 3.

A case of pyometrocolpos with Bifidobacterium species

Anaerobe, 2017
Bifidobacterium species, a normal commensal of the human gastrointestinal tract, female genitourinary tract and vagina is usually considered non-pathogenic and is being used therapeutically as probiotic due to its beneficial effects. However, there are several case reports implicating Bifidobacteria as the causative agent in various infectious ...

Species in the Genus Bifidobacterium

2018
Bifidobacteria were first described at the beginning of 1900 by the French paediatrician Tissier (Tissier, 1900), who observed a low number of bacteria characterized by a peculiar Y-shaped morphology in stools of infants with gastrointestinal disturbances when compared with those from healthy infants.
