Quantification of bacterial groups within human fecal flora by oligonucleotide probe hybridization
Article Abstract:
Bacterial groups in human adult fecal flora have been quantified using oligonucleotide probe hybridization. The probe is designated S-G-Clept-1240-a-A-18. Clostridium leptum subgroup and Clostridium coccoides group-specific probes made up 16% +/- 7% and 14% +/- 6% respectively. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus groups accounted for less than 2%.

Comparative study of bacterial groups within the human cecal and fecal microbiota
Article Abstract:
There are distinct differences between the microbiota in the cecum and the rest of the colon. The cecum contains fewer strict anaerobes, bifidobacteria, Bacteroides, and Clostridium coccoides and Clostridium leptum subgroups. One-fourth of the total bacteria in the cecum are facultative anaerobes compared to 1% in the colon.
