Background Over the last two decades incidence of allergic diseases has increased in industrialized countries, and consequently new approaches have to be explored. Objective The potential probiotics control inflammation at an early age was assessed a randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled study. Methods A total 27 infants, mean 4.6 months, who manifested atopic eczema during exclusive breast‐feeding had no exposure any infant or substitute formula were weaned probiotic‐supplemented,...
Abstract Interaction with intestinal microbes in infancy has a profound impact on health and disease later life through programming of immune metabolic pathways. We collected maternal faeces, placenta, amniotic fluid, colostrum, meconium infant faeces samples from 15 mother-infant pairs an effort to rigorously investigate prenatal neonatal microbial transfer gut colonisation. To ensure sterile sampling, only deliveries at full term by elective caesarean section were studied. Microbiota...
Fluorescence in situ hybridization and real-time PCR analysis targeting the 16S rRNA gene of Akkermansia muciniphila were performed to determine its presence human intestinal tract. These techniques revealed that an A. muciniphila-like bacterium is a common member tract colonization starts early life develops within year level close observed adults (10(8) cells/g) but decreases (P < 0.05) elderly.
A 16S rRNA-targeted probe, MUC-1437, was designed and validated in order to determine the presence numbers of cells Akkermansia muciniphila, a mucin degrader, human intestinal tract. As determined by fluorescent situ hybridization, A. muciniphila accounted more than 1% total fecal shown be common bacterial component
ABSTRACT Specific lactic acid bacterial strains remove toxins from liquid media by physical binding. The stability of the aflatoxin B 1 complexes formed with 12 in both viable and nonviable (heat- or acid-treated) forms was assessed repetitive aqueous extraction. By fifth extraction, up to 71% total remained bound. Nonviable bacteria retained highest amount . Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG (ATCC 53103) L. LC-705 (DSM 7061) removed solution most efficiently were selected for further study....
Abstract The infant gut microbiota has a high abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) compared to adults, even in the absence exposure. Here we study potential sources ARGs by performing metagenomic sequencing breast milk, as well and maternal microbiomes. We find that fecal ARG mobile genetic element (MGE) profiles infants are more similar those their own mothers than unrelated mothers. MGEs mothers’ milk also shared with infants. Termination breastfeeding intrapartum prophylaxis...
