[Sensitivity of bifidobacteria to antibacterial drugs].

Twenty one strains of bifidobacteria belonging to various species were studied with respect to their sensitivity to antibacterial drugs most widely used in medical practice. The strains were isolated from practically healthy persons and from persons in contact with antibiotics in their production. It was found that sensitivity of the strains was the highest with respect to penicillins and tetracyclines. With respect to kanamycin, monomycin and levomycetin the strains were resistant. Strain differences in resistance to separate antibacterial drugs were observed. Increased streptomycin and tetracycline resistance of the strains isolated from the persons being for a prolonged period in contact with these antibiotics in their production, was stated.

Bifidobacterium↗

[Human Bifidobacterium flora, its normalizing and protective functions].

The paper is concerned with investigation of the normalizing and protective role of the Bifidobacterium flora in humans and its quantitative predomination in intestinal microbiocenosis of children and adults. The data on antagonistic properties of bifidobacteria with respect to pathogenic and facultative pathogenic bacteria, the Bifidobacterium flora influence on the host metabolism and efficiency of bifidobacterin in recovery of the Bifidobacterium flora optimal level are presented.

[Dynamics of the establishment of intestinal microflora in healthy full-term newborns].

A study was made of the dynamics of establishment of the intestinal microflora in 79 healthy mature neonates born of healthy mothers. A total of 223 bacteriological examinations were conducted. A stable prevalence of bifidobacteria over the aerobic portion of the intestinal biocenosis occurred in all the children from the 8th day after birth. Along with this the following bacteria were continuously present in the intestine: lactic bacilli and streptococci E. coli, enterococci and staphylococci; however, their portion in the biocenosis was not great. Bacteroids, microbes of the Proteus genus, and yeast-like fungi were found in the cultures only before the establishment of a high bifidobacteria level. Conditionally pathogenic microorganisms and their associations were continuously revealed in 19.8% of healthy mature neonates. Apparently the qualitative prevalence of bifidobacteria prevented the clinical expression of dysbacteriosis in these children.

[Effects of different types of newborn infant feeding on intestinal microbiocenosis].

From 70 to 90% of premature infants on breast and additional feeding with a mixture of the "Similak" type showed normal bifidoflora, the main component of biocenosis of infant intestines. No positive shifts in the intestinal microflora composition or recovery of the bifidoflora physiological for children were recorded during feeding premature infants with pasteurized donor milk and additional feeding with kefir, a mixture of "Malyutka" and dry acidophilus mixture "Malyutka". Positive results of using the above food in conjunction with bifidumbacterin point to the perspectiveness of using bifidobacteria in the development of therapeutic additives to the infant diet.
