| effects of difructose anhydride iii (dfa iii) administration on rat intestinal microbiota. | the effects of difructose anhydride iii (di-d-fructofuranose-1,2':2,3'-dianhydride; dfa iii) administration (3% dfa iii for 4 weeks) on rat intestinal microbiota were examined using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge). according to dgge profiles, the number of bacteria related to bacteroides acidofaciens and uncultured bacteria within the clostridium lituseburense group decreased, while that of bacteria related to bacteroides vulgatus, bacteroides uniformis and ruminococcus productus ... | 2005 | 16233782 |
| bacterial-induced inflammation in germ-free rabbit appendix. | the intestinal ecosystem is defined by a series of interactions between the microbiota, the mucosal epithelium, and the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (galt). perturbations in the fine balance of the interactions between these components can result in gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (ibd). the pathophysiology of ibd is thought to develop as a result of dysregulated mucosal immune responses to normal luminal microflora. several animal models for ibd have been develope ... | 2005 | 16239845 |

| gut-associated bacterial microbiota in paediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease. | clinical and experimental observations in animal models indicate that intestinal commensal bacteria are involved in the initiation and amplification of inflammatory bowel disease (ibd). no paediatric reports are available on intestinal endogenous microflora in ibd. | 2006 | 16648155 |
| colitogenic and non-colitogenic commensal bacteria differentially trigger dc maturation and th cell polarization: an important role for il-6. | we investigated whether commensal bacteria modulate activation and maturation of bone marrow-derived dc and their ability to prime cd4(+) t cells. we used escherichia coli mpk, which induces colitis in gnotobiotic il-2-deficient (il-2(-/-)) mice, and bacteroides vulgatus mpk, which prevents e. coli-induced colitis. stimulation of dc with e. coli induced tnf-alpha, il-12 and il-6 secretion and expression of activation markers. moreover, stimulation of dc with e. coli increased t cell activation a ... | 2006 | 16708404 |
| persistence and growth of fecal bacteroidales assessed by bromodeoxyuridine immunocapture. | extraintestinal growth of fecal bacteria can impair accurate assessment of watershed health. anaerobic fecal bacteria belonging to the order bacteroidales are attractive candidates for fecal source tracking because they have host-specific distributions and do not grow well in the presence of high oxygen concentrations. growth of general and human-specific fecal bacteroidales marker organisms in environmental samples (sewage) and persistence of the corresponding genetic markers were investigated ... | 2006 | 16820440 |
| bacteroides dorei sp. nov., isolated from human faeces. | two gram-negative, anaerobic, non-spore-forming rod-shaped organisms were isolated from human faeces. these isolates were tentatively identified as bacteroides based on morphological and biochemical criteria and appeared closely related to bacteroides vulgatus atcc 8482(t). the 16s rrna gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates were highly related to each other (99.5 %) and confirmed their placement in the genus bacteroides. 16s rrna gene sequence similarity values with close phylogenetic ... | 2006 | 16825642 |
| deoxycholic acid formation in gnotobiotic mice associated with human intestinal bacteria. | in humans and animals, intestinal flora is indispensable for bile acid transformation. the goal of our study was to establish gnotobiotic mice with intestinal bacteria of human origin in order to examine the role of intestinal bacteria in the transformation of bile acids in vivo using the technique of gnotobiology. eight strains of bile acid-deconjugating bacteria were isolated from ex-germ-free mice inoculated with a human fecal dilution of 10(-6), and five strains of 7alpha-dehydroxylating bac ... | 2006 | 17152920 |
