The Intestinal Microflora of Infants: Composition of Fecal Flora in Breast-Fed and Bottle-Fed Infants
TL;DR: The fecal flora of 35 breast‐fed and 35 bottle‐fed babies was determined and the organism that showed the highest number and the highest frequency of occurrence in both groups was Bifidobacterium breve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bifidobacteria and their role in human health.
TL;DR: Oral administration of bifidobacteria may be effective for the improvement of intestinal flora and intestinal environment, for the therapy of enteric and hepatic disorders, for stimulation of the immune response, and possibly for the prevention of cancer and slowing the aging process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a probiotic formula on intestinal immunoglobulin A production in healthy children
TL;DR: The increase in local IgA levels resulting from ingestion of the probiotic formula may contribute to enhancement of the mucosal resistance against gastrointestinal infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fructo‐oligosaccharides on intestinal microflora
TL;DR: In the experiment with 23 patients, improvement of fecal microflora was observed by oral administration of fructo-oligosaccharides 8 g per day for two weeks: the population of bifidobacteria in feces increased about 10 times compared before the administration; average pH of stool showed 0.3 lower than that before administration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Trends in Research on Intestinal Flora
TL;DR: The history of intestinal microecology began in 1719, when the first microscopic observations of fecal bacteria were made by Leeuwenhoek, and in 1885, Escherich initiated the study of the intestinal flora with a description of Bacterium coli communior in bottle-fed infants.
