Bifidobacterium breve B632

◔ Human-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Bifidobacterium breve B632 has been studied primarily in pediatric populations, often in combination with the related strain BR03, across several randomized controlled trials. Clinical research has examined this strain in relation to gut colonization in infants, and trial evidence has examined infantile colic in bottle-fed newborns as a research topic. Studies in children and adolescents with obesity have also examined insulin sensitivity and weight-related measures, and separate trials have examined gastrointestinal symptoms in children with celiac disease. Most studies involve pediatric subjects and combinations with other strains, so B632-specific research in adult populations remains limited. These are research topics, not findings; the papers do not establish that this strain treats or prevents any condition.
