Figure 2From: Synergistic effects of Bifidobacterium thermophilum RBL67 and selected prebiotics on inhibition of Salmonella colonization in the swine proximal colon PolyFermS modelSalmonella and B. thermophilum in reactor effluents compared to theoretical washout curves during colonization tests. RBL67 was added once to TR2 and TR4 to reach 108 CN/mL, while TR4 was additionally supplied with 5.2 g of FOS/day. N-15 was added once to TR1 to reach 106 cfu/mL. Salmonella viable cell counts in reactor effluents was measured by plating on CHROMAgar . B. thermophilum numbers were estimated by qPCR. Measured concentrations were compared to a theoretical washout curve.Back to article page
