The beneficial properties of probiotics have always been a point of interest. Probiotics play a major role in maintaining the health of Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT), a healthy digestive system is responsible for modulating all other functions of the body. The effectiveness of probiotics can be enhanced by formulating…

Probiotic bacteria offer a number of potential health benefits when administered in sufficient amounts that in part include reducing the number of harmful organisms in the intestine, producing antimicrobial substances and stimulating the body’s immune response. However, precisely elucidating the probiotic effect of a…

The potential health benefits of probiotics have long been elucidated since Metchnikoff and his coworkers postulated the association of probiotic consumption on human's health and longevity. Since then, many scientific findings and research have further established the correlation of probiotic and gut-associated…

Probiotics are living microbes that impart overall health benefits when introduced appropriately. They play important roles in activating the immune system, inhibiting pathogens, balancing gut microbiota, providing relief from inflammatory diseases, and helping prevent chronic conditions such as cancer. In this…

Sir, The World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations have defined probiotics as "live microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host." They are also called "friendly bacteria" or "good bacteria." The concept of probiotics…

'José M. Sansano' 'Naciye Yaktubay Döndaş'] The science of pharmacology investigates the effects of drugs on living organisms and vice versa. The frequency of side effects of some drugs used in traditional pharmacological treatment approaches and/or their inability to provide adequate treatment has led to the…

A synbiotic is the combination of a microorganism shown (or thought) to have some beneficial effect when consumed (i.e. a probiotic) and a compound that specifically favours its growth (i.e. a prebiotic), having a synergistic effect when paired together. Many probiotic supplements are currently marketed as synbiotics.…

Probiotics are live microorganisms infused in food products or beverages that offer several health benefits in the body including acceleration of nutrient digestion and improvement of gut microbiota. In addition to the potential health benefits, it is also essential to ensure the safety of probiotics incorporated in…

Lactobacillus and Lactococcus species found in the yogurt of different sources are most widely assayed and used all over the world as a probiotic agent. This study aimed to isolate and identify novel probiotic agents with therapeutic value against diarrhea. Initially, the probiotic properties of the isolated lactic…

Probiotics are known to promote human health either precautionary in healthy individuals or therapeutically in patients suffering from certain ailments. Although this knowledge was empirical in past tomes, modern science has already verified it and expanded it to new limits. These microorganisms can be found in nature…

Background: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) of bacterial origin are considered as a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics and a good solution to the problem of antibiotic resistance. Additionally, many of them exhibit other types of biological activity. Therefore, in recent years, the interest of researchers…

Probiotics are microorganisms that can provide health benefits when consumed. Recent animal studies have demonstrated that probiotics can reverse gut microbiome-related alterations in anxiety and depression-like symptoms, in hormonal responses to stress, and in cognition. However, in humans, the effects of probiotics…

Supplementation with probiotics is considered as alternative treatment or adjuvant therapy for a number of bacterial infections for which the use of antibiotics is either not recommended or emerging antibiotic resistance is a major concern. Inhibition of the growth of pathogenic bacteria has been related to a number of…

Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis DN-173 010/CNCM I-2494 (B. animalis) is a probiotic strain commonly added to yogurt. Yogurt and honey are a popular culinary pairing. Honey improves bifidobacteria survival in vitro. However, probiotic survival in yogurt with honey during in vitro digestion has not been…

'Khyrunnisa Begum' 'Iman Yaze'] This study aims to screen the antibacterial activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from home-made fermented vegetables against common food borne pathogens. The antagonistic properties of these isolates against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia enterocolitica and…

The paper investigates the increase in the natural magnetically controlled properties of probiotic microorganisms Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and their ability to form magnetic sensitive inclusions (MsI). The magnetic susceptibility of LGG was increased by modifying the nutrient medium composition and by…

Probiotics interact in a mutualistic way with humans. Exposure of probiotics to sublethal concentrations of commonly prescribed antibiotics can cause resistance to arise. Over 1000 generations, we performed an adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiment to determine if the fitness of the probiotic Lactobacillus…

The microbial community composition in the human gut has a profound effect on human health. This observation has lead to extensive use of microbiome therapies, including over-the-counter "probiotic" treatments intended to alter the composition of the microbiome. Despite so much promise and commercial interest, the…

'Antônio Carlos Ligocki Campos' 'Wagner Hugo Bonat'] Clinical trials are common in medical research where multiple non-Gaussian responses and time-dependent observations are frequent. The analysis of data from these studies requires statistical modeling techniques that take these characteristics into account. We…

Aging is a dynamic, time-dependent process characterized by a gradual accumulation of cell damage. Continual functional decline in the intrinsic ability of living organisms to accurately regulate homeostasis leads to increased susceptibility and vulnerability to diseases. Anti-aging research has a long history…
