The specific aims were to i) screen a range of candidate pro biotic strains for capacity to reduce symptoms of DSS-colitis, ii) characterize the effects of DSS within the small intestine, iii) assess, in vitro, the effect of probiotics on intestinal epithelial cell integrity, iv) assess the potential for the prebiotic, fructooligosaccharide, to reduce the severity of DSS-colitis alone, and in synbiotic combination with a probiotic strain. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1280844 / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Molecular and Biomedical Sciences, 2007
