FUNCTIONAL GROUPS OF BIFIDOFLORA OF INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA IN ASSOCIATIVE SYMBIOSIS OF HUMAN
Abstract
Aim. Aim of the research is the identification of functional groups of human gut bifidoflora based on analysis of the spectrum of metabolites features, proteome, bioprofile, immunoregulatory properties and the ability to differentiate «self/non-self» among the associative microbiota. Materials and methods. The materials are 260 strains ofbifidobacteria isolated from 122 intestinal microsymbiocenoses. Experimental studies were carried out using bacteriological, chromatographic and immunological methods. Statistical processing of material is carried out by means of the package Statistica 10.0 using of k-cluster analysis and discriminant method. Results. As a result ofthe work, 3 clusters containing strains of various types of bifidobacteria were identified. The first cluster was represented by B. bifidum and was characterized by the antipeptide activity of the strains with respect to FNO-a and INF-y, IL-10. In the second cluster of the B. longum culture predominated, where the parameters of the backbone factor of microsymbiocenosis, the ability to microbial recognition, antagonistic activity and production of acetic acid were significant. In the third cluster the species composition of bifidobacteria was diverse and products of butyric, caproic acids and their isoforms were the informative tests. Conclusion. The key function of bifido-flora in the regulation of the homeostasis of the intestinal biotope is realized by the formation of functional clusters, among which the first group participates in the formation of the cytokine balance, the second group is responsible for the discrimination of associative microbiota and direct protection of the biotope from pathogens, and the third is necessary to maintain the barrier metabolic function of enterocytes in the human large intestine.
