Abstract
First isolated and characterized over 60 years ago, strains of Bifidobacterium bifidum have been extensively studied and many characterized in detail at a molecular level over the subsequent decades. Several properties of potential clinical significance have been identified in the laboratory: immune-modulatory, metabolic, antibacterial, and antiviral. Clinical trials in man have revealed positive effects in diarrheal disease, disorders involving mucosal inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, and functional gastrointestinal disorders.
