1.5 and 3% of Maillard's reaction products (MRP), prepared by heating glycine and glucose, were incorporated ino a semi-synthetic diet. The diet was sterilized by irradiation. MRP caused a change in apparent absorption of calcium and magnesium in germfree (GF) and conventional (CV) rats. The absorption of these minerals was reduced in the small intestine of CV and GF, perhaps due to the action ...

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains live as commensals in the digestive tract of the host, but they can also initiate urinary tract infections. The aim of this work was to determine how a host detects the presence of a new UPEC strain in the digestive tract. Mice were orally challenged with UPEC strains 536 and CFT073, non-pathogenic strain K12 MG1655, and ΔPAI-536, an isogenic mutant...

Fish receive bacteria in the digestive tract from the aquatic environment through water and food that are populated with bacteria. Being rich in nutrient, the environment of the digestive tract of fish confers a favourable culture environment for the microorganisms. The importance of intestinal bacteria in the nutrition and well–being of their hosts has been established for homeothermic species...

Introduction: Tobacco use has a negative effect on the immune system and contributes to decrease in protective properties of woman’s body, which leads dysbiotic changes microbiota genital tract. Materials methods: To assess species quantity composition microflora vagina women, bacteriological studies were conducted. The research group consisted women with inflammatory diseases tract who smoke (...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common functional digestive disorder, and may affect 11-20% of the adult population in industrialized countries. In accordance with Rome III criteria (2006) IBS involves abdominal pain and bowel habit disturbance, which are not explained by structural or biochemical abnormalities. Several hypotheses attempt to account for the pathophysiology of IBS, bu...

The human physiology textbooks traditionally consider the intestine as a metabolically active organ, with its activity primarily associated production of numerous digestive enzymes. development molecular analysis technologies has significantly detailized this picture, by decoding metabolic potential intestinal microbiota. Data from metagenomic studies indicate that number eukaryotic and bacteri...

To improve the adaptation of pancreatic microflora to changes in diets calves and for rational use feed, intensive cultivation, it is desirable change composition feed probiotic supplements according age animals. Each group responds differently live weight gain on additives. Feed supplement Immunobacterin-D containing Bacillus subtilis, licheniformis has a positive effect natural resistance, in...
