Probiotic

Probiotics are live organisms that confer a health benefit on the host when administered. The live organism to function in the gut needs to surpass the gastric juices and bile exposure the gastrointestinal (GI). It must thrive and multiply in the digestive tract, be safe, effective and maintain its potency for is shelf life to function. Many probiotic products come in yogurt, fermented milk, powder/capsule, or beverages. Different strains of micro-organisms are used for various functions such as, for the relief or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), lowering of serum cholesterol, immunity, constipation, and treating antibiotic associated diarrhea (AAD). The purpose of this paper is to learn whether probiotics are in fact effective in treating…

Lactobacillus is the most commonly used bacterial species (Swyers et al. 2008). A study conducted by Al Jassim et al. recorded that several species of Lactobacillus were located throughout the equine gastrointestinal tract. This concludes that these microbes have the ability to adapt to pH changes and survive in different environments. L. mucosae and L. salivarius were found to be the most abundant. L. salivarius, specifically, was cultured from the stomach, colon, and rectum, suggesting its…

Bifidobacterium bifidum is one of the most commonly probiotic bacterium found in the body of mammals. This popularity of this pathogen is probably due to its digestion aiding abilities. Bifidobacterium bifidum is rod shaped and commonly found in the intestines of mammals, including humans. The pathogen is beneficial to the body and can be found in intestines mainly but also, breast milk and the vaginal area. The amount of Bifidobacterium Bifidum in your system can be increased by taking certain…

This study was appraised using the CASP systemic review checklist to determine the validity of the study. The review had a clearly defined problem that was easily discernible. The intervention that was used for the purpose of this review was probiotics as a method to minimize AAD. Additionally, the authors of the study used the appropriate type of papers to include in the systematic review. Only RCTs were included in the review. The population identified were adults and children who had been…

role of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of disease, with mixed results being reported on the efficacy of probiotics11. In addition, probiotics have become increasingly popular with more and more probiotic products released on the market every year. Specifically, they are available as capsules and dairy based food supplements (especially yogurt) sold in health food stores and supermarkets. Despite the many health claims made on product packaging and advertisements, the United States…

metabolism. They attempted to modulate the dietary to alter different kinds of classical probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifobacterium strains and prebiotic for helping to explore the role of gut microbiota in therapeutic effects of metabolic disorders (18). There are some evidences demonstrated that the gut microbiota can reduce the risk of metabolic disease effectively, but there are still very limited studies in animal and human subjects associated with the gut microbiota in therapeutic…

Probiotics are the new buzz words these days, simply because we are learning more about their incredible benefits to digestive health and applying the knowledge to ward off illnesses and lead to longer, more productive lives. Probiotics are typically used in the same sentence (or two) with our immune system; the relationship between both are inextricably linked and they function together to keep our internal systems in check. This is mainly due to there being 70% of our immune system in the…

This theory can be further expanded as specific eukaryote cells underwent secondary symbiosis, a process by which the larger host cell engulfs a eukaryote that has previously undergone primary endosymbiosis (McFadden,2001). It is speculated that this phenomenon occurred widely among species,ultimately resulting in the product of many unique and complex organisms present today (McFadden, 2001). Therefore the development and evolution of many species can be attributed to the endosymbiosis between…

Biotechnology and probiotic GOS (Galacto-oligo-saccharides) INTRODUCTION What are Prebiotics? Prebiotics are commonly defined as non- digestible polysaccharides and oligosaccharides. These prebiotics enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria like lactic acid bacteria in intestinal tract and also exert antagonistic property against some other species like salmonella sp. or E. coli. Some scientist also defined other properties of prebiotics; which includes resistance to gastric activity,…
