Microbial Diversity of Human milk and Infants
Author(s): Omnia Badr*
A wide variety of microbial communities found in human milk have positive benefits on health, including colonisation and gut development in young
children. In this study, we described the bacterial communities in the Egyptian mother-infant pairs throughout the first year of life while they were
breastfed normally. Forty-one isolates were chosen for probiotic potential out of one hundred isolates. The physical and biochemical profiles of the
chosen isolates were created. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and phylogenetic trees between the isolates' sequence and the closest
sequences in the database, the taxonomic evidence of these isolates was examined. The isolates were identified as belonging to three genera:
Lactobacillus, Enterococcus and Lactococcus based on taxonomic and biochemical evidence. With a high incidence of its many species, the
genus Lactobaci.. Read More»
