Lactulose increases bacterial diversity and modulates the swine faecal microbiome as revealed by 454-pyrosequencing

2015-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Lactulose is a synthetic by-product of the isomerization of lactose to disaccharide galactosyl β-(1→4) fructose, and is widely applied as an oral therapeutic and laxative. As a prebiotic, lactulose is thought to control gastrointestinal diseases associated with weaning both in humans and animals.
