Characterisation Of Lactic Acid Bacteria And Bifidobacteria And Their Potential Application As A Probiotic Against Infant Diarrhea

The major health promoting probiotic bacteria found in the human gut are of the genera Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. The main objectives of the present studies were to isolate, characterise and identify the suitable probiotic strains of Lactobacillus (LAB) and Bifidobacteria (BB) from faeces...

The main objectives of the present studies were to isolate, characterise and identify the suitable probiotic strains of Lactobacillus (LAB) and Bifidobacteria (BB) from faeces of breast fed infants which could be used as effective probiotic for the control of infant diarrheal diseases.
