title: Characterization of probiotic properties of Enterococcus faecium NHRD IHARA isolated from porcine feces.
abstract: We examined in vitro the adhesion of Enterococcus faecium NHRD IHARA (NHRD IHARA) to porcine small intestinal mucin (PSIM) and inhibition of the adherence of enteropathogenic bacteria due to pre-incubation of PSIM with NHRD IHARA. NHRD IHARA exhibited an effective barrier function in porcine small intestinal mucus layer.
