Selective detection, enumeration and identification of potentially probiotic Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species in mixed bacterial populations.

Abstract excerpt

Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species constitute a significant proportion of probiotic cultures used in developed countries in 'microbial adjunct nutrition'. A number of differential plating methodologies have been developed which seek to selectively detect and enumerate these bacterial groups in bioproducts. Differences in oxygen tolerance, nutritional requirements, antibiotic susceptibility, and colony...
