Bifidobacterium breve is a bacterial species of the genus Bifidobacterium which has probiotic properties. [1] [2] Bifidobacteria are a type of bacteria that live symbiotically in the intestines of humans. They have been used to treat a number of conditions including constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and even the cold and flu.
Chr. Hansen A/S from Denmark has a similar claim on a strain of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, marketed under the trademark BB-12. [4] Lidl lists "Bifidobacterium BB-12" in its "Proviact" yogurt. Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04 and Bi-07 are strains from DuPont's Danisco FloraFIT range. They are used in many dietary probiotic supplements.
Bifidobacterium is a genus of gram-positive, nonmotile, often branched anaerobic bacteria. They are ubiquitous inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract [ 2 ] [ 3 ] though strains have been isolated from the vagina [ 4 ] and mouth ( B. dentium ) of mammals, including humans.
B. bifidum (along with B. longum and B. breve) dominates in breastfed infants. With age, this composition alters in favor of other bifidobacteria species, and the total bifidobacteria population declines to lower but relatively stable levels. [5] B. bifidum is an essential bacteria found in the human intestine. When it is low or absent all ...
The Bifidobacteriaceae are the only family of bacteria in the order Bifidobacteriales. [3] According to the 16S rRNA-based LTP release 106 published by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project, the order Bifidobacteriales is a clade nested within the suborder Micrococcineae, also the genus Bifidobacterium is paraphyletic to the other genera within the family, i.e. the other genera are nested ...
Activia products thus contain Bifidobacterium animalis DN 173,010, a proprietary strain of Bifidobacterium, a probiotic which is marketed by Dannon under the trade names Bifidus Regularis, Bifidus Actiregularis, Bifidus Digestivum and Bifidobacterium Lactis. [3] Danone launched Activia in France in 1987 under the "Bio" brand name. [4]

The Actinomycetota genus Bifidobacterium is the most common bacteria in the microbiome of human infants. [11] Although adults have fewer bifidobacteria, intestinal bifidobacteria help maintain the mucosal barrier and reduce lipopolysaccharide in the intestine. [12]
