Experimental conditions are described in materials and methods.
Levels of bifidobacteria colonising different parts of the intestine in germ free C3H/He/Oujco mice inoculated with a single dose of human infant or adult bifidobacteria. Population of bifidobacteria was determined seven days post-administration in the intestinal content and in washed tissue.
Results are presented as cfu/g of content or cfu/g of tissue (mean (SEM)) obtained from 5–6 mice per group.
↵5-150 Small intestine (SI) was separated into three equal parts : SI-1, SI-2, and SI-3.
