five strains of mouth normal microflora containing staphylococcus epidermidis, streptococcus mutant, lactobacillus acidophilus, actinomyces viscosos and candida albicans, were isolated and identified then cultured and purified on different media by using routine methods in microbiology. extract of 3 garlic samples south (khuzestan), north (mazanderan) and hamedan garlics, were affected on these...

BACKGROUND The commensal intestinal microflora has important metabolic and perhaps also immune modulatory functions. Evidence has accumulated that the microflora plays a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, there is a growing interest in the intestinal microflora and its interaction with the host. Presumably, this interaction takes place at the mucus layer. In this...

Since genetically engineered animal models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) do not develop colitis under germ-free conditions, the intestinal microflora is thought to be one of the most important environmental factors associated with IBD. To understand the involvement of intestinal microflora in the pathogenesis of IBD, we analyzed the constituents of intestinal microflora in IBD. Faecal sam...

endophytes are considered as an important source of bioactive natural products because thesemicroorganisms are able to occupy unique biological niches and grow in non-ordinaryenvironments. therefore, endophytic fungi of medicinal plants can be developed for medicinalapplications. on the other hand, medicinal properties of plant can be ascribed to its endophyticfungi. thymus sp. is widely used a...

Probiotic therapy is based on the concept of normal healthy microflora. The development of novel means of characterising the gut microflora, in particular those based on the different levels of conservation in the ribosomal RNA sequences of different genera, have opened up new angles on the role of the gut microflora in health and disease. Components of the human intestinal microflora or organi...

Smoked salmon contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes has been implicated in foodborne listeriosis. The objectives of this study were to model the growth characteristics and examine the growth relationship of L. monocytogenes and native microflora in smoked salmon. Smoked salmon samples with a native microflora count of 2.9 log(10) CFU/g were inoculated with a 6-strain mixture of L. monocytoge...

The microflora associated to furuncular lesions, larvae and pupae of Dermatobia hominis, as well as the relationships between parasite, host and microflora associated, as a comprehensive microsystem, has been studied. One hundred and two furuncular myiasis due to D. hominis larvae in several breeds of cattle were studied and the following bacterial species were significant: Staphylococcus aureu...

the effects of selko-ph (s; 1 ml/l drinking water); termin-8 (t; 2 kg/ton feed) and neogermicin (n; 2 l/ton feed) on gastrointestinal tract (git) ph, microbial population, ileal digestibility and broiler performance were investigated. the lowest feed intake (fi) was attained by chickens fed diets supplemented with s group in all periods (p

2 According to the immunologist Eduardo Schiffrin from Switzerland, intestinal microflora can be considered to be an organ in its own right. In fact, intestinal microflora, made of a wide variety of bacteria, is capable, like an organ, of accomplishing important functions that can be modulated by environmental factors such as nutrition. This organ has the special feature of being acquired after...
