Genetic diversity, cholesterol reduction, and presence of conserved bile salt hydrolase gene in probiotic strains from human milk.

Abstract excerpt

Probiotics are known to possess strain- and species-specific functional properties, of which hypocholesteremia is of major interest. Bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity is one of the key mechanisms involved in the hypocholesterolemic effect. The study was designed to genetically characterize probiotics obtained from human milk on the basis of simple sequence repeat (SSR), isolate potent hypocholesterolemic...
