Targeted High-Resolution Taxonomic Identification of <i>Bifidobacterium longum</i> subsp. <i>infantis</i> Using Human Milk Oligosaccharide Metabolizing Genes
2021-06-04
Abstract excerpt
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis ( B. infantis ) is one of a few microorganisms capable of metabolizing human breast milk and is a pioneer colonizer in the guts of breastfed infants. One current challenge is differentiating B. infantis from its close relatives, B. longum and B. suis . All three organisms are classified in the same species group but only B. infantis can metabolize human milk oligosaccha...
