Bifidobacterium species range and microbial landscape of the large intestine in children with functional disorders of the digestive system

Author Affiliations

Abstract

The main objective of this work was to study bifidobacteria species range by means of method of polymerase chain reaction in different age children with functional gastro-intestinal tract disorders. General intestine microecological characteristics in children were studied too. Disbiotic changes in the intestinal biotope were accompanied by bifidobacteria deficiency and opportunistic microorganisms selection. Reduction of B.longum and B.catenulatum populations, the appearance of bifidobacteria rare species B. dentium и B. angulatum were shown. Decrease in bifidobacteria species diversity in children with functional gastro-intestinal tract disorders indicated instability in gut microecosystem. The study of bifidobacterial profiles in different pathologies will contribute to the early diagnosis and diseases treatment.

Key words
