Abstract excerpt
The susceptibility levels against bile salts (ox gall) and sodium cholate of 19 Bifidobacterium strains from different origins ranged between 0.125% and 2.0% and 0.05% and 0.4%, respectively. Seven of these strains were subsequently selected for the isolation of sodium cholate resistant derivatives by exposure to gradually increasing concentrations of this compound. Derivatives resistant to at least 1.2% of...
