[Maternal lactation. I. Resistance of maternal milk to bacterial contamination]. 1979

J Torres-Goitia, and P Fernández, and M Ferreiro, and M Rizzardini, and R Fernández

Bacteriologic studies in hands, nipples and milk in 10 wet-nurses were done in order to establish regulation for the recollection of breast milk to be used in low -birth-weight infants. The same studies were done in the hands of 10 nurse-aids, that help in the recollection of breast milk. The results depicts that the breast milk has bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties enough to protect against contamination by germs of the mother's bacterial flora. It does not have the same property against germs that are not of their own flora: those of the nurse-aids's hands. The protection is such that is possible to maintain the breast milk at environmental temperature of 4 degrees C, for 72 hours, without having the developing of germs not isolated previously, and even with the disappearance of some strains present in the initial cultures.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
