Introduction
Over the past few years, there is a worldwide increasing tendency for the consumption of functional foods, including probiotics, prebiotics or both. Influenza epidemics cause numerous deaths and millions of hospitalization each year. Because of the alarming emergence of resistance to anti-influenza drugs, there is a need to identify new naturally occurring antiviral molecules. Punicaceae has been used for centuries in many cultures for the prevention and treatment of a wide number of health disorders such as inflammation, diarrhea, dysentery, dental plaque and to combat intestinal infections.

Mackowiak1,2 Subsequent work by a host of investigators showed that L. bulgaricus is unable to survive in the human intestine or that of any other animal studied and, hence ,notcapable of replacing put refactive bacteriain the colon . L. acidophilus, however,canlive in the human intestine and has been used with limite dsuccess as a probiotic . The FAO/WHO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World health Organization) defines pro- biotics as “live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.” As noted above, interest in probiotics such as lactobacilli has so are dinrecent years, with many studies purporting to demonstrate their efficacy in alleviating human. Probiotics have been shown to be effective or possibly effective in preventing pediatric antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Todate, probiotics, such as L. acidophilus, have not been shown to be effective against bacterial ulcerative colitis, Crohn’sdisease. Fecal transplantation is a special form of probiotic therapy in which a healthy donor’s fecal microbiota in its entirety (i.e., processed stool) is transplanted into the intestine of a patient suffering with one of various intestinal disorders. The procedure was first performed in 1958 in patients with fulminate (Mackowiak.,
