The fecal recovery assay of this invention accurately quantifies the number of viable BB12 colonies in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. This BB12 culture method is highly selective for isolating BB12 colonies from human stool. Furthermore, this method has the utility of assessing the survivability of BB12 delivered by food products and supplements through the GI tract, and thus providing potential information on the human health effects of viable BB12. |
