The inulin-type fructans are non-digestible oligosaccharides that are fermented in the gastrointestinal tract of farm animals and pets. This review focuses on the various effects of inulin-type fructans in pigs, poultry, calves and companion animals. Effects of the inulin-type fructans on gut microflora, digestion and availability of nutrients, gut morphology, fermentation characteristics and a...

Dysbiotic shifts in intestinal and pharyngeal microflora were studied in 22 normal volunteers in 9-, 14-, 105- and 520-d chamber experiments simulating some of the spaceflight factors. Two preparations were administered to prevent pharyngeal and intestinal dysbiosis: oral dry probiotic based on indigenous intestinal Enterococci and topical collagen-immobilized Lactobacterin based on indigenous ...

I t is a great pleasure in this inaugural Editorial to present a new partnership for scientific publication in the field of oral microbiology. With the recent development of a wide array of new techniques, particularly in molecular biology, this area has developed tremendously over the last few years. It has also become increasingly clear that the microflora of the oral cavity is an equally imp...

The gastrointestinal tract of the human and other mammals is populated by a vast and diverse group of microbes in a composite manner (Frank and Pace, 2008; Ito, 2005). Bacteria are the major population of the alimentary tract and this native microflora is commonly designated the gut microflora (Ito, 2005). Microbial flora present in the microenvironment of the gastrointestinal tract performs se...

The incidence of secondary lung infections in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 is not well understood. results bacteriological research for nonspecific flora sputum or flushing from the respiratory tract were analyzed 820 out 3040 at Research Institute Lung Diseases Baku. Secondary microflora was detected 771 (94%) patients. 347 (42.3%) cases, fungi genus Candida found, and 211 (25.7%) this ...

Gastric juice cultures were positive in all patients with gastric disorders and 44% with duodenal ulcers. A positive correlation was observed between pH and positivity of gastric cultures (JPMA 32:282, 1982).

The microbiology of Kasseri cheese, a Protected Designation Origin (PDO) cheese pasta-filata type was studied in order to identify the dominant species and strains that may contribute maturation process. Chemical composition microbiological quality samples from two different dairies during at 0, 7, 25, 60 90 days maturation. Lactic acid bacteria Enterococcus spp. were found be microflora fresh ...

Two broad hypotheses have arisen regarding the fundamental nature of the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs, which include ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease). The first contends that primary dysregulation of the mucosal immune system leads to excessive immunologic responses to normal microflora. The second suggests that changes in the composition of gut microflora and/or deran...

Helicobacter pylori causes substantial morbidity and mortality, and the course of infection results from complex interactions between host, environmental and bacterial factors. It is generally accepted that H. pylori eradication is the best method of treatment for peptic ulcer disease and prevention of its complications. However, the antimicrobial agents used in eradication regimens cause vario...
