Effect of Bovine or Human Milk on the Establishment ofBifidobacterium bifidumand Some Other Bacteria from the Human Neonatal Microflora in Gnotobiotic Mice

Abstract: A strain of Bijdobacterium bijidum which was dependent on bifidus factors was administered to four groups of germfree mice each receiving a different sample of human milk containing the same concentration of bifidus factors. The strain became established in three of the four groups in numbers varying between 5 x lo7 and 1 x lO'O/g faeces. B. hrJidum also became established in numbers varying between 5 x lo9 and 2 x IO' O/g faeces in mono-associated mice receiving diets containing little or no bifidus factors. … Show more

“…In order to colonise GI tract of Swiss mice, approximately 109 cells of the mixture of six strains of Bifidobacterium were introduced into the animals for seven days. Colonisation of GI tract of mice by 108 cells of Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus casei strain GG has been reported (13,14). At the first stage of the ex-periment, zero or small variations were observed among the strains of Bifidobacterium in each mouse.…”

“…Among the factors contributing to the development of the gut mucosal barrier, the intestinal microflora plays an important role. In the newborn, bacterial colonization is established gradually and greatly depends on the nutritional context‐that is, breast feeding or formula feeding (1). Bifidobacteria constitute the dominant microflora in breast‐fed infants (2), but the weaning period is associated with important changes in the gut flora (3,4).…”
