UNASSIGNED: @entity28 is an increasing problem at the global level and considered as a risk factor for @entity28 development and the associated co-morbidities in adult life. In this study, the occurrence of @entity2868 group, @entity3168 spp., @entity32190 spp. and @entity526 in 84 faecal samples from 30 @entity28 , 24 overweight and 30 lean @entity1 was verified by culture technique and quantitative determination by quantitative PCR. In addition, Lactobacillus spp. and @entity4852 were also analysed. A correlation between the body mass index (BMI) and these bacteria was sought. @entity3395 , @entity3168 and @entity32190 were most prevalent in all samples evaluated by culture-method. The @entity2868 group were found at high concentrations in @entity28 and overweight @entity1 when compared with the lean ones (p 0.015). The @entity28 and overweight @entity1 harboured higher numbers of Lactobacillus spp. than lean @entity1 (p 0.022). The faecal concentrations of the @entity2868 group (r  =  0.24; p 0.026) and Lactobacillus spp. (r  =  0.44; p 0.002) were positively correlated with BMI. @entity32190 spp. were found in higher numbers in the lean group than the overweight and @entity28 ones (p 0.042). Furthermore, a negative correlation between BMI and @entity32190 spp. copy number (r  =  -0.22; p 0.039) was observed. Our findings show some difference in the intestinal microbial ecosystem of @entity28 @entity1 compared with the lean ones and a significant association between number of Lactobacillus spp. and @entity2868 group and BMI.
