Bifidobacteria typically represent the most abundant bacteria of the human gut microbiota in healthy breast-fed infants. Members of the species constitute one of the dominant taxa amongst these bifidobacterial communities and have been shown to display notable physiological and genetic features encompassing adhesion to epithelia as well as metabolism of host-derived glycans. In the current review, we discuss current knowledge concerning particular biological characteristics of the species that support its specific adaptation to the human gut and their implications in terms of supporting host health.
双歧杆菌通常是健康母乳喂养婴儿肠道微生物群中最丰富的细菌。该物种的成员是这些双歧杆菌群落中的主要分类群之一,并且已显示出显著的生理和遗传特征,包括对上皮细胞的粘附以及宿主衍生聚糖的代谢。在本综述中,我们讨论了关于该物种特定生物学特性的现有知识,这些特性支持其对人类肠道的特定适应性及其对宿主健康的影响。
