Vitability study of probiotic in probiotic follow-up formula

Management of infant diarrhea with high-lactose probiotic-containing formula.

To study the influence of high-lactose probiotic-containing formula on the course of acute diarrhea, an experiment using a randomized controlled clinical trial with patients having acute diarrhea for 3 days was conducted. One hundred patients were allocated into two groups that were comparable for age, sex, and nutritional status. The test group was administered high-lactose Bifidobacterium bif...

Assessment of Molecular Techniques in Probiotic Study

The concept of probiotic has been around for more than century. Their impact on human nutrition is still an emerging science, and knowledge of human intestinal micro flora is still growing. To determine the positive effect of probiotic strain, necessary tools are required to monitor the specific strain in the intestines. The addition of molecular methods to conventional microbiological methods ...

Comparing the Effect of Probiotic and Non-probiotic Yogurt Drinks on Two Common Oral Microorganisms: An In Vitro Study

Background and purpose: Decrease in the number of oral microorganisms leads to reduction in caries score. Bacterial therapy, such as using probiotic bacteria, is an alternative procedure in treatment of infections caused by microorganisms. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of probiotic and non-probiotic yogurt-drink on two common oral microorganisms. Materials and methods: In...

Pili in Probiotic Bacteria

The ability to adhere to intestinal epithelial tissue and mucosal surfaces is a key criterion in selecting probiotics. Adhesion is considered to be a prerequisite for successful colonization and survival in the gastrointestinal tract to provide persistent beneficial effects to the host. Bacteria express a multitude of surface components that mediate adherence. Pili or fimbriae are surface adhes...
