Monitoring the cell number of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris FC in human feces by real-time PCR with strain-specific primers designed using the RAPD technique.

Strain-specific PCR primers for Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris FC were developed using the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. RAPD was used to generate strain-specific markers. A 1164-bp RAPD marker found to be strain-specific was sequenced, and a primer pair specific for L. lactis subsp. cremoris FC was designed. The specificity of this primer pair was tested with 23 L. lactis subsp. cremoris strains and 20 intestinal bacterial species, and was found to be strain-specific. Subsequently, this primer pair was subjected to the quantification of L. lactis subsp. cremoris FC in the feces of subjects fed fermented milk containing this strain. After administration, L. lactis subsp. cremoris FC was detected in the feces of all 7 subjects, with the maximum number being between 10(5) and 10(9) cells g(-1) of feces. Furthermore, this strain was detected in only one feces sample 2 weeks after administration was stopped. These results suggest that L. lactis subsp. cremoris FC can survive passage through the gastrointestinal tract.

Effect of maternal consumption of lactobacillus GG on transfer and establishment of fecal bifidobacterial microbiota in neonates.

BACKGROUND: Establishment of the gut microbiota at birth provides a substantial source of microbial stimuli for the maturation of the immune system. Deviations in this process precede the development of specific diseases providing the rationale for the use of probiotics to counteract them. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to characterize both the mother-infant bifidobacteria transfer at birth and the development of bifidobacteria microbiota during the first weeks of life in infants whose mothers received Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or placebo. METHODS: Species-specific PCR was used to assess the fecal bifidobacterial composition of mothers before and after delivery and in infants at 5 days and 3 weeks of age. RESULTS: Bifidobacterium longum was the species most commonly found in the mothers. Bifidobacterium catenulatum was the most prevalent group in infants at 5 days of age and B. longum the predominant species at 3 weeks. At 5 days of age, infants whose mothers received L. rhamnosus GG showed a significantly higher occurrence of B. breve and lower of B. adolescentis than those from the placebo group. In addition, L. rhamnosus GG consumption increased the bifidobacterial diversity in infants and reduced the Bifidobacterium microbiota similarity between mother and infant. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that specific changes in the transfer and initial establishment of bifidobacteria in neonates take place as consequence of the consumption of L. rhamnosus GG by the mothers.

Bacteroides intestinalis sp. nov., isolated from human faeces.

During studies of the microbiota of human faeces, five strains of Gram-negative anaerobic rods were isolated following growth in a polyamine-deficient medium. These strains belonged to the genus Bacteroides on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence data. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between one of the strains, 341T, and recognized species within the genus Bacteroides was <95 %. The DNA G+C content (44 mol%) and major fatty acid composition (anteiso-C(15 : 0), 32.0 %) supported the affiliation of strain 341(T) to the genus Bacteroides. Biochemical tests and DNA-DNA hybridization analysis demonstrated that strain 341T was distinct from Bacteroides uniformis and Bacteroides helcogenes, to which it was related most closely. On the basis of these data, a novel Bacteroides species, Bacteroides intestinalis sp. nov., is proposed with strain 341T (= JCM 13265T = DSM 17393T) as the type strain.

Bacteroides finegoldii sp. nov., isolated from human faeces.

Two strains, 199T and 176, of Gram-negative, anaerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria were isolated during studies of microbiota in human faeces using polyamine-deficient medium. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the isolated strains belonged to the genus Bacteroides. The G+C content (42.4-43.0 mol%) and major fatty acid composition (anteiso-C15:0, 31.8-36.2 %) supported the affiliation of the two strains to the genus Bacteroides. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with their closest neighbours, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Bacteroides ovatus, ranged from 94.6 to 96.5 %. DNA-DNA hybridization and phenotypic analysis showed that the two strains belonged to the same species (DNA-DNA relatedness of 89 %) and were distinct from their close relatives, B. thetaiotaomicron and B. ovatus (<23 % DNA-DNA relatedness). On the basis of these data, a novel species of the genus Bacteroides, Bacteroides finegoldii sp. nov., is proposed, comprising the designated type strain 199T (=JCM 13345T=DSM 17565T) and strain 176 (=JCM 13346).

Reclassification of Bacteroides distasonis, Bacteroides goldsteinii and Bacteroides merdae as Parabacteroides distasonis gen. nov., comb. nov., Parabacteroides goldsteinii comb. nov. and Parabacteroides merdae comb. nov.

The characteristics of three Bacteroides species, Bacteroides distasonis, Bacteroides goldsteinii and Bacteroides merdae, were examined. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that B. distasonis, B. goldsteinii and B. merdae should not be classified as species within the genus Bacteroides. Although B. distasonis, B. goldsteinii and B. merdae were phylogenetically related to Tannerella forsythensis, the ratios of anteiso-C(15 : 0) to iso-C(15 : 0) in whole-cell methanolysates of the three species were different from that of T. forsythensis. In addition, whereas the major menaquinones of T. forsythensis were MK-10 and MK-11, the major menaquinones of B. distasonis, B. goldsteinii and B. merdae were MK-9 and MK-10. The three species were phenotypically similar to Bacteroides sensu stricto, but phylogenetically distinct. Furthermore, B. distasonis, B. goldsteinii and B. merdae could be differentiated from Bacteroides sensu stricto (predominant menaquinones: MK-10 and MK-11) by the menaquinone composition. This is an important chemotaxonomic characteristic of the three species. On the basis of these data, a novel genus, Parabacteroides gen. nov., is proposed for B. distasonis, B. goldsteinii and B. merdae, with three species, Parabacteroides distasonis gen. nov., comb. nov. (the type species), Parabacteroides goldsteinii comb. nov. and Parabacteroides merdae comb. nov. The type strains of P. distasonis, P. goldsteinii and P. merdae are JCM 5825(T) (=CCUG 4941(T)=DSM 20701(T)=ATCC 8503(T)), JCM 13446(T) (=CCUG 48944(T)) and JCM 9497(T) (=CCUG 38734(T)=ATCC 43184(T)), respectively.

Bacteroides dorei sp. nov., isolated from human faeces.

Two Gram-negative, anaerobic, non-spore-forming rod-shaped organisms were isolated from human faeces. These isolates were tentatively identified as Bacteroides based on morphological and biochemical criteria and appeared closely related to Bacteroides vulgatus ATCC 8482(T). The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates were highly related to each other (99.5 %) and confirmed their placement in the genus Bacteroides. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values with close phylogenetic neighbours Bacteroides vulgatus ATCC 8482(T) (96 %) and Bacteroides massiliensis CCUG 48901(T) (93 %) preliminarily demonstrated that the organisms represented a novel species. The results of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, and DNA-DNA homology values provided evidence that these two unknown isolates represent a single species and should be assigned to a novel species of the genus Bacteroides, as Bacteroides dorei sp. nov. The type strain is JCM 13471(T) (=DSM 17855(T)).

Bacteroides barnesiae sp. nov., Bacteroides salanitronis sp. nov. and Bacteroides gallinarum sp. nov., isolated from chicken caecum.

Eight bacterial strains isolated from the caecum of chicken, BL2(T), BL66, EG3, EG6, M27, BL78(T), C35(T) and C43, were characterized by determining their phenotypic characteristics, cellular fatty acid profiles, menaquinone profiles and phylogenetic positions based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that these isolates belonged to the genus Bacteroides. One group of five strains (BL2(T), BL66, EG3, EG6 and M27) was related most closely to Bacteroides coprocola JCM 12979(T), with approximately 93 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, and to Bacteroides plebeius JCM 12973(T), with about 92 % similarity, and shared >or=99.6 % similarity with each other. Strain BL78(T) exhibited 90.5 % similarity to B. plebeius JCM 12973(T) and 89.8 % similarity to B. coprocola JCM 12979(T) and differed from the above group of five strains at >or=10 % sequence divergence. Strains C35(T) and C43 were related most closely to Bacteroides eggerthii JCM 12986(T), with 95.1 % sequence similarity, to Bacteroides stercoris JCM 9496(T), with 94.6 % similarity, and to Bacteroides uniformis JCM 5828(T), with 94.4 % similarity, and shared 100 % similarity with each other. From results of phenotypic examination, cellular fatty acid composition analysis, menaquinone composition analysis and DNA G+C contents, the group of five strains as well as strain BL78(T) were shown to differ from the type strains of B. coprocola and B. plebeius. Strain BL78(T) differed from the others based on its menaquinone composition, which included MK-11 and MK-12. Strains C35(T) and C43 could also be differentiated from the type strains of B. eggerthii, B. stercoris and B. uniformis. The group of five strains, strain BL78(T), B. coprocola JCM 12979(T) and B. plebeius JCM 12973(T) showed low levels of DNA-DNA relatedness (<35 %) with each other. High levels of DNA-DNA relatedness were obtained within the group of five strains (>75 %). Strains C35(T) and C43 exhibited a high level of DNA-DNA relatedness (>88 %) with each other, but low levels with B. eggerthii JCM 12986(T) (<40 %), B. stercoris JCM 9496(T) (<37 %) and B. uniformis JCM 5828(T) (<16 %). On the basis of these data, three novel Bacteroides species are proposed: Bacteroides barnesiae sp. nov. (type strain BL2(T)=JCM 13652(T)=DSM 18169(T)), Bacteroides salanitronis sp. nov. (type strain BL78(T)=JCM 13657(T)=DSM 18170(T)) and Bacteroides gallinarum sp. nov. (type strain C35(T)=JCM 13658(T)=DSM 18171(T)).

Characterization of the genus Bifidobacterium by automated ribotyping and 16S rRNA gene sequences.

In order to characterize the genus Bifidobacterium, ribopatterns and approximately 500 bp (Escherichia coli positions 27 to 520) of 16S rRNA gene sequences of 28 type strains and 64 reference strains of the genus Bifidobacterium were determined. Ribopatterns obtained from Bifidobacterium strains were divided into nine clusters (clusters I-IX) with a similarity of 60%. Cluster V, containing 17 species, was further subdivided into 22 subclusters with a similarity of 90%. In the genus Bifidobacterium, four groups were shown according to Miyake et al.: (i) the Bifidobacterium longum infantis-longum-suis type group, (ii) the B. catenulatum-pseudocatenulatum group, (iii) the B. gallinarum-saeculare-pullorum group, and (iv) the B. coryneforme-indicum group, which showed higher than 97% similarity of the 16S rRNA gene sequences in each group. Using ribotyping analysis, unique ribopatterns were obtained from these species, and they could be separated by cluster analysis. Ribopatterns of six B. adolescentis strains were separated into different clusters, and also showed diversity in 16S rRNA gene sequences. B. adolescentis consisted of heterogeneous strains. The nine strains of B. pseudolongum subsp. pseudolongum were divided into five subclusters. Each type strain of B. pseudolongum subsp. pseudolongum and B. pseudolongum subsp. globosum and two intermediate groups, which were suggested by Yaeshima et al., consisted of individual clusters. B. animalis subsp. animalis and B. animalis subsp. lactis could not be separated by ribotyping using Eco RI. We conclude that ribotyping is able to provide another characteristic of Bifidobacterium strains in addition to 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic analysis, and this information suggests that ribotyping analysis is a useful tool for the characterization of Bifidobacterium species in combination with other techniques for taxonomic characterization.

Clostridium glycyrrhizinilyticum sp. nov., a glycyrrhizin-hydrolysing bacterium isolated from human faeces.

Screening of faecal bacteria for glycyrrhetic acid (GA) production by hydrolysing of glycyrrhizin (GL) resulted in the isolation of two strains, designated ZM35T and ZM38. Strains ZM35T and ZM38 were Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped bacteria. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strains ZM35T and ZM38 belonged to cluster XIVa of the genus Clostridium. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains ZM35T and ZM38 were identical. Strain ZM35T exhibited approximately 94% to 95% identity with the validly described species, Clostridium oroticum(94.5%), Eubacterium contortum(93.8%), Ruminococcus gnavus(94.5%) and R. torques(95.1%). In an experiment of DNA-DNA hybridization, it was confirmed that strains ZM35T and ZM38 were the same species. The guanine-plus-cytosine (G+C) content of strain ZM35T is 45.7 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic findings, we propose that strains ZM35T and ZM38 be assigned to a novel species named Clostridium glycyrrhizinilyticum. The type strain is ZM35T (=JCM 13368T=DSM 17593T).

Monitoring and survival of Lactobacillus gasseri SBT2055 in the human intestinal tract.

The monitoring and survival of Lactobacillus gasseri SBT2055 in the human intestinal tract was investigated with seven healthy subjects having a low number of fecal lactobacilli. An increase of fecal lactobacilli (10(3.2-5.2) CFU/g feces) was recognized after ingestion of yogurt with SBT2055 by the subjects. A high positive rate of L. gasseri in fecal lactobacilli detected from the subjects (over 70% at 2nd weeks of feeding) was also observed during the ingestion period using the species-specific PCR system. These findings indicate that the SBT2055 strain in yogurt survived in the human intestinal tract and was recovered from human feces.

Diversity of the Clostridium coccoides group in human fecal microbiota as determined by 16S rRNA gene library.

Fecal microbiota were analyzed in seven healthy individuals by 16S rRNA gene libraries (universal library) using universal primers, and the Clostridium coccoides group libraries using the universal primer 27F and the C. coccoides group-specific primer Erec482. The universal libraries were used in our previous studies. The 972 clones obtained from two different primer set libraries belonged to the C. coccoides group and were classified into 139 operational taxonomic units (OTU) (at least 98% sequence similarity). Of these, 41 OTU were detected commonly from universal libraries and C. coccoides group libraries. One hundred and ten OTU were detected from the C. coccoides group libraries. Fifteen new OTU were isolated from the C. coccoides group libraries in human gut. Most of the OTU did not correspond to known species, thus representing as-yet-uncultured bacteria. We also detected OTU that related to the butyrate-producing bacteria. The C. coccoides group consisted of an average of 35 OTU, although there were differences in the number and the type of species in each individual. When fecal microbiota were analyzed using universal libraries, the OTU belonging to the C. coccoides group detected in elderly individuals were fewer than those detected in adult individuals. When C. coccoides group libraries were used, the numbers of OTU in elderly and adult individuals were not different. Interindividual differences in the composition of OTU belonging to the C. coccoides group were also observed in fecal microbiota.

Increase in terminal restriction fragments of Bacteroidetes-derived 16S rRNA genes after administration of short-chain fructooligosaccharides.

It is well known that short chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS) modify intestinal microbiota in animals as well as in humans. Since most murine intestinal bacteria are still uncultured, it is difficult for a culturing method to detect changes in intestinal microbiota after scFOS administration in a mouse model. In this study, we sought markers of positive change in murine intestinal microbiota after scFOS administration using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis, which is a culture-independent method. The T-RFLP profiles showed that six terminal restriction fragments (T-RFs) were significantly increased after scFOS administration. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA partial gene sequences of murine fecal bacteria suggested that four of six T-RFs that increased after scFOS administration were derived from the 16S rRNA genes of the class Bacteroidetes. Preliminary quantification of Bacteroidetes by real-time PCR suggests that the 16S rRNA genes derived from Bacteroidetes were increased by scFOS administration. Therefore, the T-RFs derived from Bacteroidetes are good markers of change of murine intestinal microbiota after scFOS administration.

Anti-inflammatory metabolite production in the gut from the consumption of probiotic yogurt containing Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis LKM512.

There is little evidence for a relationship between probiotic metabolites and host cytokine production. We investigated in the present study the possibility that anti-inflammatory metabolites can be produced in the gut by LKM512 yogurt consumption by using murine macrophage-like J774.1 cells and extracts prepared from the feces of elderly volunteers. These volunteers' acute inflammation had been inhibited by LKM512 yogurt consumption in a previous test. The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production elicited in J774.1 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and in the fecal extracts obtained during the period of LKM512 yogurt consumption was significantly decreased (p<0.05) than the pre-consumption baseline level. These findings and previous data enable us to conclude that intestinal bacterial metabolites produced by LKM512 yogurt consumption contributed to suppressing the inflammatory cytokine produced by macrophages and that one of the anti-inflammatory metabolites in the fecal extracts was likely to have been a polyamine.

Intestinal colonisation, microbiota and future probiotics?

The human intestine is colonized by a large number of microorganisms, collectively termed microbiota, which support a variety of physiological functions. As the major part of the microbiota has not yet been cultured, molecular methods are required to determine microbial composition and the impact of specific dietary components including probiotics. Probiotics are viable microbial food supplements, which have a beneficial impact on human health. Health-promoting properties have been demonstrated for specific probiotic products. The most significant demonstrations for probiotic efficacy include prevention and treatment of antibiotic associated diarrhea, rotavirus diarrhea and allergy prevention. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (=ATCC 53103) and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 are the among the best-characterized and most studied probiotic strains with demonstrated impact on human health. New complex targets for probiotics include irritable bowel syndrome and Helicobacter pylori infection. For future probiotics the most important target is a demonstrated clinical benefit supported by knowledge on the mechanistic actions in the microbiota of the target population. Molecular and genomics-based knowledge of the composition and functions of the microbiota, as well as deviations from the balanced microbiota, will advance the selection of new and specific probiotics. Potential combinations of specific probiotics may prove to be the next step to reduce the risk on intestinal diseases and reconstruct specific microbial deviations.

Culture-independent analysis of fecal microbiota in infants, with special reference to Bifidobacterium species.

Fecal microbiota of 31 breast-fed, 26 mix-fed, and 11 bottle-fed infants were analyzed by using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), and culture method. We first determined the total and cultivated bacterial counts in infant fecal microbiota. Only approximately 30% of bacteria present in fecal microbiota were cultivable while the remainder was yet-to-be cultured bacteria. Sixty-eight fecal samples were divided into two clusters (I and II) by T-RFLP analysis, and then subdivided into five subclusters (Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb and IIc). There was no clear relationship between clusters and feeding method. A proportion of bifidobacteria was detected in the fecal material by PCR method using species-specific primers. The predominant Bifidobacterium spp. was Bifidobacterium longum longum type (43 samples (63.2%)), followed by B. longum infantis type (23 samples (33.8%)) and B. breve (16 samples (23.5%)). The distribution of Bifidobacterium spp. was similar in the three feeding groups. In contrast, the high incidence of B. breve in cluster I, especially subcluster Ia and B. longum longum type in cluster II, especially subcluster IIa and IIc were characterized by T-RFLP method. Our results showed that the colonization of Bifidobacterium spp. in infant feces correlated with the T-RFLP clusters.

Novel phylogenetic assignment database for terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of human colonic microbiota.

Various molecular-biological approaches using the 16S rRNA gene sequence have been used for the analysis of human colonic microbiota. Terminal- restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis is suitable for a rapid comparison of complex bacterial communities. Terminal-restriction fragment (T-RF) length can be calculated from a known sequence, thus one can predict bacterial species on the basis of their T-RF length by this analysis. The aim of this study was to build a phylogenetic assignment database for T-RFLP analysis of human colonic microbiota (PAD-HCM), and to demonstrate the effectiveness of PAD-HCM compared with the results of 16S rRNA gene clone library analysis. PAD-HCM was completed to include 342 sequence data obtained using four restriction enzymes. Approximately 80% of the total clones detected by 16S rRNA gene clone library analysis were the same bacterial species or phylotypes as those assigned from T-RF using PAD-HCM. Moreover, large T-RFs consisted of common species or phylotypes detected by both analytical methods. All pseudo-T-RFs identified by mung bean nuclease digestion could not be assigned to a bacterial species or phylotype, and this finding shows that pseudo-T-RFs can also be predicted using PAD-HCM. We conclude that PAD-HCM built in this study enables the prediction of T-RFs at the species level including difficult-to-culture bacteria, and that it is very useful for the T-RFLP analysis of human colonic microbiota.

Prevotella multiformis sp. nov., isolated from human subgingival plaque.

Four bacterial strains isolated from the human oral cavity, PPPA19, PPPA21(T), PPPA28 and PPPA30, were characterized by determining phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profiles and the phylogenetic position based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that each of the isolates was a member of the genus Prevotella. These strains were related to Prevotella denticola with about 95 % similarity. The strains were obligately anaerobic, non-pigmented, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative rods. However, the cells of these strains were often cocci (coccobacilli), depending on the cultivation time. Colonies of different sizes were detected on Eggerth Gagnon agar plates for these strains. The cells forming large colonies were cocci, whereas those forming small colonies were cocci and rods. However, 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison of colonies of different sizes revealed that only a single organism was present. Although these strains had phenotypic characteristics that were similar to those of P. denticola JCM 8528, they could be differentiated from P. denticola JCM 8528 by aesculin hydrolysis and d-cellobiose fermentation in API 20A tests. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments revealed the genomic distinction of these four strains with respect to P. denticola JCM 8528. On the basis of these data, a novel Prevotella species, Prevotella multiformis sp. nov., is proposed, with PPPA21(T) (=JCM 12541(T)=DSM 16608(T)) as the type strain.

Prevotella multisaccharivorax sp. nov., isolated from human subgingival plaque.

Six bacterial strains isolated from the human oral cavity, PPPA16, PPPA20(T), PPPA24, PPPA31, EPPA6 and EPPA7, were characterized by determining phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profiles, menaquinone profiles and phylogenetic position based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates represented the same species of the genus Prevotella. The strains were related to Prevotella dentalis with about 89% similarity. In addition, the isolates were related to Prevotella sp. oral clone IDR-CEC-0032, which is a representative of the numerically dominant cluster VI in carious dentine lesions [Nadkarni et al. (2004). J Clin Microbiol 42, 5238-5244], with about 99% similarity. The strains were obligately anaerobic, non-pigmenting, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative rods. The isolates could be differentiated from other Prevotella species by D-mannitol, D-melezitose, D-sorbitol and D-trehalose fermentation in API 20A tests. The cellular fatty acid composition of strains PPPA16, PPPA20(T), PPPA24, PPPA31, EPPA6 and EPPA7 was significantly different from that of other Prevotella species. Compared with other Prevotella species, only these six strains contained dimethyl acetals. The major menaquinones of the clinical isolates were MK-12 and MK-13, whereas the major menaquinones of other Prevotella species were MK-10 and MK-11. On the basis of these data, a novel Prevotella species, Prevotella multisaccharivorax sp. nov., is proposed, with PPPA20(T) (=JCM 12954(T)=DSM 17128(T)) as the type strain.
