1. Yogurt provides beneficial cultures that aid (способствуют) in digestion and provides an excellent source of calcium.

2. Yogurt may be the ultimate (идеальный) health food by enhancing the immune response in those who eat it regularly.

3. Many of the studies produce compelling evidence (убедительные доказательства) that yogurt improves resistance to immune related disease.

4. The subjects who consumed (употребляли в пищу) the yogurt bacteria benefited by a significantly enhanced immune response.

5. These improvements are likely to provide significant health benefits to those who eat yogurt with active cultures regularly.

6. All bacterial counts were determined using a modified glove-juice sampling procedure (метод забора образцов для бактериологического исследования).

7. The difference was determined between the amounts of bacteria on hands artificially contaminated with the bacterium Micrococcus luteus before washing with a nonantibacterial soap and after drying by 4 different methods.

8. No statistically significant differences were noted in the numbers of colony-forming units for each method.

9. The objective of this study was to determine the contamination rate of the healthcare workers' (HCWs') (работники здравоохранения) mobile phones and hands in operating room.

10. The gram negative strains were isolated from mobile phones of 31.3% subjects.

11. Distributions of the isolated microorganisms from mobile phones were similar to hands isolates.

12. Mobile phones used by HCWs in daily practice may be a source of nosocomial infections in hospitals.

13. Our purpose was to determine whether bacteremia or HIV status affects the radiographic appearance.

14. Patients less than 16 years old and those with nosocomial pneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, or coexistent lung disease were excluded (исключены).

15. 105 patients had positive findings for Streptococcus pneumoniae from sputum or blood cultures.

16. Among all the patients, focal lobar consolidation was the most common pattern, observed in 48%.

17. The radiographic pattern and incidence of multicentric disease were not affected by HIV seropositivity.

Background. Yogurt provides beneficial cultures that aid in digestion and provides an excellent source of calcium. Yogurt may, in fact, be the ultimate health food by enhancing the immune response in those who eat it regularly. A recent review of the researches on the immunological effects of yogurt with active cultures showed that many of the studies produce compelling evidence that yogurt improves resistance to immune related disease.

Aim We investigated whether active yogurt bacteria significantly improve human immunity.

Method The present study followed 25 healthy, elderly human volunteers in a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study. Volunteers were given either milk or milk with active yogurt bacteria (Bifidobacterium lactis) for six weeks.

Results. Immune response variables were then measured and the subjects who consumed the yogurt bacteria benefited by a significantly enhanced immune response as compared to controls.

Conclusion Based on the findings we concluded that these considerable improvements are likely to provide significant health benefits to those who eat yogurt with active cultures regularly.
