简要总结
Bifidobacterium strains with potential health benefits can contribute to the gastrointestinal wellbeing. However, the ability of these strains to survive gastro-intestinal tract stress and their impact on gut microbiome remains to be clarified. Moreover, prebiotic fibres, such as galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) can promote the proliferation of Bifidobacteria. This is why the current study aims to assess the impact of Bifidobacteria consumption on human gut microbiome with or without GOS compared to control product.
