Gut microbiota has been proposed as a new environmental risk factor responsible for obesity. So, the aim of this study was to assess the gut microbiota profile, with special consideration to Lactobacilli, E. coli and S. aureus viable bacterial count (VBC) in (CFU/gm) and their association with body mass index (BMI) and obesity using quantitative stool culture. This study was conducted on 100 individuals; 74 with disturbed BMI who were divided into subgroups, with no other associated comorbidities and 26 healthy average weight volunteers. | Correlation between body mass index and gut microbiota in adults 2017 6 2 778-787 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 6 Number 2 2017 pp. 778-787 Journal homepage http Original Research Article http Correlation between Body Mass Index and Gut Microbiota in Adults Sally M.

So the aim of this study was to assess the gut microbiota profile with special Obesity consideration to Lactobacilli E. coli and S. aureus viable bacterial count VBC in Lactobacillus reuteri CFU gm and their association with body mass index BMI and obesity using Lactobacillus quantitative stool culture. This study was conducted on 100 individuals 74 with paracasei disturbed BMI who were divided into subgroups with no other associated co- Lactobacillus morbidities and 26 healthy average weight volunteers. Fresh stool samples were plantarum E. coli collected and cultured directly on MacConkey xylose lysine deoxycholate Blood and Probiotics Prebiotics and synbiotics. Man-Rogoza Sharpe agar and quantitatively with serial dilutions 10-2 10-9 in sterile normal saline. S. aureus was not isolated in any group while Lactobacilli and E. coli Article Info were isolated from all groups. Lactobacilli have a significant low VBC in obese and the highest VBC in the normal weight group showing a negative correlation with BMI. Accepted 18 January 2017 While E. coli had a significantly high VBC in obese and the lowest in the Available Online underweight group showing a positive correlation with BMI. In .
