The B. longum group and B. breve were the most commonly detected. Other species detected include B. pseudocatenulatum, B. catelanum, B. gallinarum, B. bifidum, B. dentium, and B. angulatum. Non = non-secretor-fed, Sec = secretor-fed, and n = number of samples from which isolates were obtained. The ‘n’ denotes the number of samples represented in each bar, not the number of isolates.
