Chemically undefined substances, like yeast extract or peptones, are commonly used as milk supplements in industrial fermentations to allow the growth of bacterial strains unable to grow in pure milk.
In order to look for substances to replace their positive effects on the bacterial growth, the requirements of the probiotic strain L. johnsonii NCC 533 (... Read More
Oxygen levels were measured in the foregut and midgut lumens of ten species of caterpillars and three species of grasshoppers. In most species, the foregut was nearly anoxic, with oxygen levels ranging from 0 to 2.5 mm Hg. However, two caterpillar species with large foreguts (Malacosoma disstria and Lymantria dispar) had elevated oxygen levels (27.9 and 32.1 mm Hg) in this region when they were fed artificial diet.
In all of the species surveyed, the anterior and posterior mi... Read More
Functional foods comprising probiotic bacteria are receiving increasing attention from the scientific community and science funding agencies. An essential aspect relating to the functionality of probiotic-based foods is to develop molecular methods to determine the presence, activity and viability of probiotic bacteria in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
The GI tract is composed of a complex ecosystem of various microbial habitats colonized by numerous different commens... Read More
The current taxonomy of probiotic lactic acid bacteria is reviewed with special focus on the genera Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Enterococcus. The physiology and taxonomic position of species and strains of these genera were investigated by phenotypic and genomic methods. In total, 176 strains, including the type strains, have been included. Phenotypic methods applied were based on biochemical, enzymatical and physiological characteristics, including growth temperatures, cell wal... Read More
The nutritional needs of the gastrointestinal mucosa per se has until today been largely neglected. It is a rather novel finding, that the lower part of the digestive tract is most dependent on luminal nutrition for maintaining its integrity, structure and function.
Even the most complete parenteral nutrition (PN) regimen cannot, in the absence of adequate enteral nutrition (EN), fully prevent the development of mucosal atrophy in the lower part of the ... Read More
Many and different pharmaceutical products with probiotic value are presently commercialised on the italian market. On this regard, a microbiological investigation was carried out to screen the microorganisms incorporated into these products, commonly used in animal feeding.
After determination of the cell number and viability of bacteria, different exp... Read More
Probiotics in various combinations and in various forms have become popular supplements for establishing and maintaining gut health. However, commercial products vary in the effectiveness of their specific probiotic strains and the ability of these strains to survive the acidic environment of the stomach.
A novel probiotic, manufactured by BIOHM, LLC, has a unique formulation of Saccharomyces boulardii, ... Read More
The gut microbiota continues to fascinate scientists in many realms when it is considered that humans contain 90% bacteria. Correlations between changes in composition and activity of the gut microbiota and common disorders such as cancer, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity, oral health, etc. have been proposed. To battle the increase in health care costs, a preventive approach to medicine with the development of probiotics and prebiotics or symbio... Read More
Exopolysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria have tremendous value in the development of new functional foods. Different types of exopolysaccharides produced vary in monomer composition, molecular weight and structure. This review focuses on the heteropolysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria. The huge diversity of heteropolysaccharides presents several applications in fo... Read More
Prompt restoration of lost fluids and salts is the primary goal of cholera treatment. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) with high-osmolarity mixture of glucose and salts has been recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and proved to be safe and effective in treating and preventing dehydration in cholera patient. The standard WHO-oral rehydration salt (WHO-ORS) prevents millions of deaths each year. Studies of food-based ORS versus WHO-ORS, demonstrated an improved outcome such ... Read More

Celiac Disease (CD) or gluten sensitive enteropathy is anautoimmune disorder characterised by variable presentations which respond to exclusion of wheat and other gluten containing products. While exclusion of gluten is the corner stone in the management ofthis entity, newer therapeutic approaches are now being investigated. These include use of elemental diets, oral prolyl-endopeptidases, IL-15blockage, transamidation of wheat and use of probiotics.
The microbial composition... Read More
Probiotics have been defined a number of times. Presently the most common definition is that from the FAO/WHO which states that probiotics are “live microorganisms that, administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.”
One of the most significant groups of probiotic organisms are the lactic acid bacteria, commonly used in fermented dairy products. There is an increase in interest in these species as research is beginning to reveal the... Read More
Food Borne Illness
Foodborne illness (also foodborne disease and colloquially referred to as food poisoning) is any illness resulting from the spoilage of contaminated food, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites that contaminate food, as well as toxins such as poisonous mushrooms and various species of beans that have not been boiled for at least 10 minutes.
Symptoms vary depending on the cause, and are described below in this article. A few broad generalizations can be made. For contaminants requiring an incubation period, symptoms may not manifest for hours to day... Read More
