چکیده

16S ribosomal DNA terminal restriction fragment patterns from rat fecal samples were analyzed to track the dynamics of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and discern bacterial populations that changed during feeding with NCFM. Lactobacillus johnsonii and Ruminococcus flavefaciens were tentatively identified as such bacterial populations. The presence of L. johnsonii was confirmed by isolation from feces.

Supplementation of the diet with high-viscosity beta-glucan results in enrichment for lactobacilli in the rat cecum.

BBn (BioBreeding) rats were fed casein-based diets supplemented with barley flour, oatmeal flour, cellulose, or barley beta-glucans of high [HV] or low viscosity [LV] in order to measure the prebiotic effects of these different sources of dietary fiber. The dietary impact on the composition of the cecal microbiota was determined by the generation of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE...

16S-Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis Assay for Discriminating Potentially Probiotic Lactobacillus Species Isolated from Traditional Dairy Products

Background: Traditional dairy products are the main sources for probiotic bacteria. This study aimed to isolate and characterize the potentially probiotic Lactobacillus strains isolated from traditional dairy products in Iran. Methods: Microbial population of each dairy product was enriched and screened for acid- and bile- resistant strains. The isolates were ...

Characterization of microbial diversity by determining terminal restriction fragment length polymorphisms of genes encoding 16S rRNA.

A quantitative molecular technique was developed for rapid analysis of microbial community diversity in various environments. The technique employed PCR in which one of the two primers used was fluorescently labeled at the 5' end and was used to amplify a selected region of bacterial genes encoding 16S rRNA from total community DNA. The PCR product was digested with restriction enzymes, and the...

Gram Stains: A Resource for Retrospective Analysis of Bacterial Pathogens in Clinical Studies

We demonstrate the feasibility of using qPCR on DNA extracted from vaginal Gram stain slides to estimate the presence and relative abundance of specific bacterial pathogens. We first tested Gram stained slides spiked with a mix of 10(8) cfu/ml of Escherichia coli and 10(5) cfu/ml of Lactobacillus acidophilus. Primers were designed for amplification of total and species-specific bacterial DNA ba...
