Quantification of different Eubacterium spp. in human fecal samples with species-specific 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes
Article Abstract:
Species-specific 16S rRNA oligonucleotide probes and whole-cell in situ hybridization can be used to accurately identify Eubacterium spp. in human fecal samples. In a study using probes for 11 different species, none of the probes showed cross-hybridization.

Oligonucleotide probes that detect quantitatively significant groups of butyrate-producing bacteria in human feces
Article Abstract:
A mean population distribution of 2.3, 3.8, and 0.6% in a population comprising three different bacteria is detected using 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide prones from 10 human feces samples. Data indicate that a mean of 7.7% , of the total fecal microbiota produce butyrate.

Quantification of the flavonoid-degrading bacterium Eubacterium ramulus in human fecal samples with a species-specific oligonucleotide hybridization probe
Article Abstract:
An oligonucleotide probe targeted to the hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA from Eubacterium ramulus was able to detect the bacterium in fecal samples from 20 people. This bacterium metabolizes flavonoids in the human digestive system.
