Molecular Identification of Potentially Probiotic Lactobacilli
Current Microbiology, 2000The rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes are useful for the identification of Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. gasseri, L. johnsonii, L. crispatus, and L. amylovorus. However, the oligonucleotide probe designed for L. helveticus hybridized with nucleic acids of type strains of L. gallinarum and L. helveticus.

A successful history: probiotics and their potential as antimicrobials
Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2019Introduction: Probiotics are living, non-pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria) that enter through diet in the human body, live during their passage through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and are beneficial to health. They have become popular in recent years as a way of improving human health through nutrition.

Methods for assessing the potential of prebiotics and probiotics
Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 1999Prebiotics and probiotics are microflora management tools designed to improve human health. Both are dietary materials that fortify components of the gut flora seen as 'beneficial'. Gut flora modulation is an important area of the nutritional sciences, however, it is imperative that reliable methodologies be used to determine efficacy. This review will

The potential for probiotic manipulation of the gastrointestinal microbiome
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2012Multiple internal and external sites of the healthy human body are colonized by a diversity of symbiotic microbes. The microbial assemblages found in the intestine represent some of the most dense and diverse of these human-associated ecosystems. Unsurprisingly, the enteric microbiome, that is the totality of microbes, their combined genomes, and their

Probiotic potentials of cereal-based beverages
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2015Probiotics offer remarkable potential for the prevention and management of various infective and noninfective disorders. They are reported to play key roles in the suppression of gastrointestinal infections, antimicrobial activity, improvement in lactose metabolism, reduction in serum cholesterol, immune system stimulation, antimutagenic properties ...

Functionality of Probiotics – Potential for Product Development
2007It is becoming increasingly accepted by consumers that live lactic acid bacteria do exert health benefits when eaten. In addition, it is also becoming recognised that not all probiotic bacteria are equal. It is now no longer just a question of providing sufficient numbers of viable bacteria in a product; industry must also provide proof of efficacy for

Lactobacilli and enterococci — Potential probiotics for dogs
Folia Microbiologica, 2004Forty strains of enterococci and forty strains of lactobacilli isolated from feces of 10 healthy dogs were tested for the antimicrobial activity, tolerance to bile and adhesion activity. The total count of fecal enterococci reached 5.5 log CFU/g and of lactobacilli 7.6 log CFU/g.

The Potential Role Of Probiotics In Pediatric Urology
Journal of Urology, 2002The application of select microbial strains to increase the host population of good bacteria is called probiotics, a term defined as "live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host." This review was done to evaluate the potential role that probiotic therapy may have in pediatric urology.Many children

Metabolic activities and probiotic potential of bifidobacteria
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2011It has been shown that the gut microbiota regulates fat storage in the body and that disturbances in its composition can lead to the development of certain metabolic disease states. Bifidobacteria are found among the resident microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and their metabolic activities have been shown to beneficially influence the ...

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2004
The accumulation of fat in hepatocytes with a necroinflammatory component-steatohepatitis-that may or may not have associated fibrosis is becoming a frequent lesion. Although steatohepatitis is currently recognized to be a leading cause of cryptogenic cirrhosis, the pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated.
