Increase in terminal restriction fragments of Bacteroidetes-derived 16S rRNA genes after administration of short-chain fructooligosaccharides

Article Abstract:

Study is presented to determine the effects of short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS) administration on the terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RELP) profiles of murine intestinal microbiota and sort markers for the positive change in murine intestinal microbiota as a result of scFOS administration. It is concluded that the terminal restriction fragments (T-RFs) derived from Bacteroidetes are good markers of change of murine intestinal microbiota after scFOS administration.

Differences in fecal microbiota in different European study populations in relation to age, gender, and country: A cross-sectional study

Article Abstract:

A cross-sectional study was conducted to gain basic information on the fecal microbiota composition of different European study populations. Age-related differences in the microbiota makeup were detected but differed between the study populations from the four countries, France, Germany, Italy and Sweden, each showing a characteristic colonization pattern.

Movement and fixation of intestinal microbiota after administration of human feces to germfree mice

Article Abstract:

A study of the movement and fixation of intestinal microbiota after administration of human feces to germfree mice was conducted. Results indicate that the intestinal microbiota of human flora-associated (HFA) mice represents a limited sample of bacteria from the human source and are selected by unknown interactions between the host and bacteria.
