Diversity of Bifidobacteria within the Infant Gut Microbiota
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) represents one of the most densely populated microbial ecosystems studied to date. Although this microbial consortium has been recognized to have a crucial impact on human health, its precise composition is still subject to intense investigation. Among the GIT microbiota, bifidobacteria represent an important commensal group, being among the first microbial colonizers of the gut. However, the prevalence and diversity of members of the genus Bifidobacterium in the infant intestinal microbiota has not yet been fully characterized, while some inconsistencies exist in literature regarding the abundance of this genus. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In the current report, we assessed the complexity of the infant intestinal bifidobacterial population by analysis of pyrosequencing data of PCR amplicons derived from two hypervariable regions of the 16 S rRNA gene. Eleven faecal samples were collected from healthy infants of different geographical origins (Italy, Spain or Ireland), feeding type (breast milk or formula) and mode of delivery (vaginal or caesarean delivery), while in four cases, faecal samples of corresponding mothers were also analyzed. CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to several previously published culture-independent studies, our analysis revealed a predominance of bifidobacteria in the infant gut as well as a profile of co-occurrence of bifidobacterial species in the infant's intestine.

PS infants showed earlier and more robust colonisation of infant-associated Bifidobacterium species, particularly B. breve and B. longum subsp. infantis, compared to NPS infants.
“PS infants showed an earlier and more robust colonisation of infant-associated Bifidobacterium species, particularly B. breve and B. longum subsp. infantis, compared to NPS infants51–53.”

The Results sections on core microbiota and interindividual variability (page not provided) identify B. breve and B. longum in infant samples. They do not identify B. longum subsp. infantis or compare PS with NPS infants, so they cannot support the claimed earlier or more robust colonisation in PS infants. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
