Prepns contg several bifidobacterium species - for normalizing intestinal flora

摘要

Prepn. for the substitution of defective intestinal flora or for maintaining normal flora conditions, contg. several species of the genus Bifidobacterium as a mixt. For treating dysbiotic intestinal flora conditions, e.g. after antibiotic treatment. The prepn. can replace all the species (often up to 7) of Bifidobacteria which were originally present in the intestinal tract. The mixt. may be in fresh form or in carefully dried. The prepn. pref. also contains other essential intestinal germs, and an optimal nutrient substrate, pref. milk or whey with added growth activators, esp. yeast extract or yeast autolysate. The Bifidobacteria are pref. cultured as pure cultures and then mixed.
