Illustration of a Cartesian coordinate plane. The second value in each ordered pair is the ordinate of the corresponding point. In mathematics, ordinate mostly refers to that element of an ordered pair which is plotted on the vertical axis of a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, as opposed to the abscissa.
1 Saccharomyces boulardii is able to prevent intestinal infections caused by the adherence in vitro or the invasion in vivo (in mice) of C. dificile, E. coli and Candida albicans to the GI (gastrointestinal) tract.
It is a hardy, acid-resistant, temperature tolerant microorganism that is not affected byanti-bacterial agents. S. boulardii is genetically and functionally distinct from brewerâs yeast (S. cerevisiae) and different from pathogenic Candida species.S. boulardii increases the activities of intestinal brush border enzymes such as disaccharidases, a-glucosidases, alkaline phosphatases, and aminopeptidases.. boulardii is genetically and functionally distinct from brewerâs yeast (S. cerevisiae) and different from pathogenic Candida species.
