A semisynthetic diet fed to axenic mice was found to prevent the establishment of a Clostridium perenne strain in their intestinal tract. This inhibitory effect did not occur when axenic mice were preinoculated with a strain of Clostridium difficile. The inhibitory effect was related to the presence in the intestinal contents of axenic mice of both dietary copper and a dipeptide, aspartic-epsilon-lysine. When C. difficile was inoculated into axenic mice, the dipeptide disappeared from the digesta, and C. perenne became established even in the presence of high concentrations of copper.
给无菌小鼠喂食半合成饮食可防止肠道内梭状芽孢杆菌菌株的定植。当无菌小鼠预先接种艰难梭菌菌株时,这种抑制作用不会发生。抑制作用与无菌小鼠肠道内容物中膳食铜和二肽天冬氨酸-ε-赖氨酸的存在有关。当将艰难梭菌接种到无菌小鼠体内时,二肽会从消化物中消失,即使存在高浓度的铜,梭状芽孢杆菌也会定植。
