Bifidobacterium breve is a bacterial species of the Bifidobacterium genus which has probiotic properties.[1][2]
History and clinical uses
B. breve strains were originally isolated from the feces of human infants.[3] In 1971, Bifidobacterium parvulorum and Bifidobacterium breve were merged under the name Bifidobacterium breve.[3] Bifidobacterim breve administered in combination with prebiotics or other probiotics and standard therapy has showed some beneficial effect.[4] B. breve is a constituent in the therapeutic, nutritional treatment VSL#3. This proprietary, standardized, formulation of live bacteria is used to treat ulcerative colitis and may require a prescription.[4][5]
Characteristics
B. breve strains can ferment mannitol and sorbitol, but not arabinose or xylose.[3]
