forming, and non-motile; it is commonly found in the intestinal and vaginal mucosa of humans and animals as a part of their natural flora (3). It has also been found in human and animal feces, and beef and pork meat (2). In recent years, it has experienced a surge in popularity by not only the medical but also science community because of its abundance in natural flora. Bifidobacterium bifidum is a probiotic that has a symbiotic bacteria-host relationship by playing a beneficial role in the lower gastrointestinal

In other words, when you fix your leaky gut, you fix your whole self! And the rotation diet is a practical and manageable way to do just that. Candida Yeast Syndrome Candida is a yeast that grows naturally in the digestive and reproductive tracts of both men and women. In small quantities, this yeast is actually helpful to the body. However, in the case of leaky gut syndrome, yeast that should be limited to these spaces gets a free pass to go exploring around the rest of the body, causing it to

UNKNOW BACTERIA LAB REPORT UNKNOWN 36 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture. The reason for identification of unknown bacteria was to help students recognize different bacteria through different biochemical tests and characteristics. This is important in the medical field because identification of unknown bacteria can help treat a patient by knowing the contributing source of a disease. Also knowledge of different bacteria helped others

A number of studies, predominantly conducted in mice, have established a link between gut microbiota and obesity and have documented that a change in gut bacteria can have an effect on body weight. A 2004 study by Bäckhed et al. study was one of the earliest studies done on this topic and provided some of the first evidence that gut microbiota may play a role in energy balance and subsequently obesity.6 Conventionally raised mice were fed a polysaccharide rich diet and gained 40% more weight than

Calcium alginate encapsulation has demonstrated exemplary protective properties for probiotics exposed to low pH conditions [3]. In the above graphs, it can be substantiated that non-encapsulated probiotics (Fig. 1) are compromised immediately when subjected to simulated stomach acid over time. Given approximately 10 minutes, the non-encapsulated probiotic culture viability decreases drastically by 50%. Therefore, it is logical to assume that probiotics contained in yogurt, cheese, milk, and other

Introduction Clostridium difficile or more commonly known as C. diff is a bacterium that lives in the microflora of human intestines. Clostridium, refers to its spindle shape, and difficile is Latin for difficult. It gets its name because it is very hard to kill. This bacterium is able to in anaerobic conditions and it can live on a surface for up to 90 days. Each year C. diff infects roughly 500,000 people in the United States and often causes hospitalization (AGA). C. diff is able to infect a

Abstract After entering the gastrointestinal tract on the way to their physiological site of infection, enteric bacteria encounter a remarkable diversity in environmental conditions. There are gross differences in the physico-chemical parameters in different sections of the Gastrointestinal tract (GI) tract e.g. between the stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Furthermore, even within a certain anatomical site, there are subtle differences in the microenvironment e.g. between the lumen,
