Abstract
Bifidobacteria are generally regarded as safe. However, to date no investigation has been performed of the potential risk factors of bifidobacteria. The presence of known virulence factors clinical blood isolates, dairy and faecal isolates of bifodobacteria was investigated. No significant differences could be observed between clinical and faecal isolates, the results confirm the general opinion that bifidobacteria are safe.
