Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Leuconostoc, and Weissella Species in Human Feces by Using Group-Specific PCR Primers and Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis
TL;DR: Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of DNA fragments generated by PCR with 16S ribosomal DNA-targeted group-specific primers was used to detect lactic acid bacteria (LAB) of the genera lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Leuconostoc, andWeissella in human feces.
Journal ArticleDOI
VSL#3 Probiotic-Mixture Induces Remission in Patients with Active Ulcerative Colitis
Rodrigo Bibiloni,Richard N. Fedorak,Gerald W. Tannock,Karen L. Madsen,Paolo Gionchetti,Paolo Gionchetti,Massimo Campieri,Massimo Campieri,Claudio De Simone,R. Balfour Sartor +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the presence of biopsy-associated bacteria was detected using a nucleic acid-based method and confirmed by DNA sequencing of 16S rRNA for 6 weeks of VSL#3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the fecal microflora of human subjects consuming a probiotic product containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus DR20.
TL;DR: It is concluded that consumption of the DR20-containing milk product transiently altered the Lactobacillus and enterococcal contents of the feces of the majority of consumers without markedly affecting biochemical or other bacteriological factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and identification of gastrointestinal Lactobacillus species by using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and species-specific PCR primers.
Jens Walter,Gerald W. Tannock,Anu Tilsala-Timisjärvi,Sureelak Rodtong,Diane M. Loach,Karen Munro,Tapani Alatossava +6 more
TL;DR: Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of DNA fragments obtained by PCR amplification of the V2-V3 region of the 16S rRNA gene was used to detect the presence of Lactobacillus species in the stomach contents of mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
A differential effect of 2 probiotics in the prevention of eczema and atopy: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.
Kristin Wickens,Peter N. Black,Thorsten Stanley,Edwin A. Mitchell,Penny Fitzharris,Gerald W. Tannock,Gordon Purdie,Julian Crane +7 more
TL;DR: It was found that supplementation with L rhamnosus, but not B animalis subsp lactis, substantially reduced the cumulative prevalence of eczema, butNot atopy, by 2 years.
