It is generally accepted that the fecal flora of breast fed infants is dominated by bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. However, some studies report low colonisation rates of bifidobacteria even in breast fed infants. The complexity of fecal flora and particularly technical problems encountered in sampling techniques and in sample processing might limit the validity of the data. In the present study we examined the fecal flora of brest fed infants with particular respect to bifidobacteria and lactobacilli using an integrated transport and culturing system.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that the fecal flora of breast fed infants is dominated by bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. However, some studies report low colonisation rates of bifidobacteria even in breast fed infants. The complexity of fecal flora and particularly technical problems encountered in sampling techniques and in sample processing might limit the validity of the data. In the present study we examined the fecal flora of brest fed infants with particular respect to bifidobacteria and lactobacilli using an integrated transport and culturing system.File in questo prodotto:
