Discovered in 1924 by Danish microbiologist Orla-Jensen and Contributes to good gut health. Bifidobacteria (or ‘bifids’ for short) live as part of the ‘normal flora’ of microbes in the gut. Babies have the highest concentrations of bifidobacteria in their gut. The population of bifidobacteria can represent up to 95% of the total gut flora in breast-fed babies. This figure declines over time to about 25% in adults.]]> 2018-11-07 18:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_donatelli/4v3nmehr87d8/wish/301702516 https://padlet.com/sarah_donatelli/4v3nmehr87d8/wish/301702692 Amy Zetler

First discovered by the surgeon Billroth in 1874 and named in 1884 by the doctor Rosenbach and Causes mainly mild infections such as ‘strep throat’. The symptoms are a sore throat and swollen red tonsils.Streptococcus pyogenes also causes impetigo (a skin infection) that is common in children. Small red spots appear on the skin especially on the face around the mouth and nose. The spots fill with a yellow liquid which oozes from the blister before crusting over. ]]> 2018-11-07 18:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_donatelli/4v3nmehr87d8/wish/301704957 https://padlet.com/sarah_donatelli/4v3nmehr87d8/wish/301705144 2018-11-07 18:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_donatelli/4v3nmehr87d8/wish/301705144 https://padlet.com/sarah_donatelli/4v3nmehr87d8/wish/301705813 Kyle Schleining
