[Alteration of the normal intestinal flora in human sucklings within the last 20 years]. 1979

F K Grütte, and W Müller-Beuthow

Analyses of the feces-flora and the feces-pH of breastfed infants and of infants nourished with commercial formulae (Ki-Na, Milasan) performed since 20 years were evaluated. In both regimens decreasing numbers of Bifidobacteria could be remarked. The dominating position of this groups of bacteria was limited more and more. Since 1971 the Bifidobacterium biotype, characteristic of feces of breastfed infants could be proved no more. Simultaneously germs of the E. coli-group and neonmycine-resistent forms increased. With breast-milk Proteus distinctly increased in the feces, whereas, formulae on cow's milk basis caused the reversed effect. Bacteroides and the group of H2S producing bacteria remained unaltered. In the stools of breastfed infants the pH-value increased slowly. These tendencies were marked still stronger in prematures. Enhancing influences from the environment as possible reasons for these developments were discussed.

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
