Bifidobacteria-Host Interactions—An Update on Colonisation Factors

Figure 1

Host colonisation factors of bifidobacteria identified by genome analysis and supported by experimental evidence obtained in in vitro experiments and/or murine model systems (bile-AA: conjugated bile acids; bile-COO⁻: deconjugated bile acids; Tad: tight adherence; EPS: exopolysaccharides; HMO: human milk oligosaccharides).
