Nestlé 和 Purina 在微生物组领域的领先地位
作为 Nestlé 旗下公司，Purina 凭借无可匹敌的的菌种保藏以及数十年的微生物组、益生元和益生菌研究吸引着人们的注意，对有益于兽医学和宠物健康的潜在益生菌菌株进行评估。
自 20 世纪 70 年代以来，Nestlé 一直在收集菌株。坐落于瑞士洛桑的雀巢菌种保藏中心（Nestlé Culture Collection，简称 NCC）藏有成千上万种经过基因测序和分类的菌株。
Nestlé 公开了首个双歧杆菌属基因组序列以及首个来自人肠道并完成测序的乳酸杆菌属。1、2
Purina 和 Nestlé 的科学家们共同协作，对犬和人类的 微生物组进行了首次直接比较。这项研究首次证实这两个物种的微生物组相似，二者对饮食的反应也相似。11、12
Purina 是首家提供可稳定储存并被证实可促进免疫系统健康的益生菌补充剂的公司，同时也是首家为患有腹泻的病犬或病猫提供饮食管理的公司。这种益生菌是一种特殊的屎肠球菌菌株，称为屎肠球菌 SF68 (NCIMB 10415 4b1705)，根据至今发表的论文，它一直都是兽医学领域研究最多的益生菌。Purina 还是首家提供可稳定储存并被证实可减轻某些焦虑行为、帮助犬类应对外部应激物的益生菌（长双歧杆菌 BL999，NCC 3001）的公司。除了侧重于产品研发的研究外，Purina 还开展并资助可推进微生物组健康和营养影响方面科学知识进步的研究。
