Abstract
Rats fed the food colour erythrosine had decreased numbers of fusiform bacilli on the caecal surface and of Lactobacillus fermentum on the non‐secreting epithelial tissue of the stomach. The effect was concentration dependent. Although for the L. fermentum population a bactericidal effect could not be completely excluded it is possible that erythrosine interfered with the surface association mechanism.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
