Old comments
editI deleted the external link, because it starts a Java applet that crashes Firefox 1.5.0.4. In Window, it's necessary to close (Windows) Firefox with the Task Manager after visiting the link. I feel that the link should be reverted only after careful examination by somebody qualified to determine the safety level of the external link. (i.e. not me) In any case, this type of behavior by an external link (indeed, the dependence on Java, let alone the crash) significantly detracts from Wikipedia quality.
what's up with that runny poop business?
Article update

I have just modified one external link on Bifidobacterium. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
- Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20121004072755/http://mail.successmakers.com:80/uploads/Probiotics_-_100_years_after_Elie_Metchnikoff_PhDs_Obsevations.pdf to http://mail.successmakers.com/uploads/Probiotics_-_100_years_after_Elie_Metchnikoff_PhDs_Obsevations.pdf

Clinical uses
editThe reference cited to support the statement in the article, "Bifidobacterium species administered as a probiotic have been found be an effective treatment for some types of inflammatory bowel disease and have no negative side effects.", states that the evidence that Bifido is an effective treatment for any types of IBD was inconclusive, and recommends further study. This should be clearly stated in the article. Dr.khatmando (talk) 07:38, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
