Consumption of lysozyme-rich milk can alter microbial fecal populations.
Human milk contains antimicrobial factors such as lysozyme and lactoferrin that are thought to contribute to the development of an intestinal microbiota beneficial to host health. However, these factors are lacking in the milk of dairy animals. Here we report the establishment of an animal model to allow the dissection of the role of milk components in gut microbiota modulation and subsequent c...
متن کاملMicrobial Groundwater Sampling Protocol for Fecal-Rich Environments
Inherently, confined animal farming operations (CAFOs) and other intense fecal-rich environments are potential sources of groundwater contamination by enteric pathogens. The ubiquity of microbial matter poses unique technical challenges in addition to economic constraints when sampling wells in such environments. In this paper, we evaluate a groundwater sampling protocol that relies on extended...
متن کاملReply to Can Fecal Microbial Transplant Effectively Treat Crohn's Disease?
To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Suskind et al evaluating the safety and potential efficacy of fecal microbial transplant (FMT) in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD). The author found that FMT for CD may be a possible therapeutic option for CD. Because their findings are important to current therapy for CD, several questions deserve further attention. FMT has come to the fore...

متن کاملAnalysis of raw goat milk microbiota: impact of stage of lactation and lysozyme on microbial diversity.
To protect infants from infection, human milk contains high levels of the enzyme lysozyme, unlike the milk of dairy animals. We have genetically engineered goats to express human lysozyme (hLZ milk) in their milk at 68% the amount found in human milk to help extend this protection. This study looked at the effect of hLZ on bacteria in raw milk over time. As the microbial diversity of goats' mil...
