Isolation of Potential ProbioticLactobacillusrhamnosusStrains from Traditional Fermented Mare Milk Produced in Sumbawa Island of Indonesia

“…1) They can reach the gastrointestinal (GI) tract alive, and exhibit their health promoting effects in the host, even though they colonize the GI tract only temporarily. Hence their ability to adhere constituents of the GI mucosal layer such as mucin 2) and also to extracellular matrix (ECM) components including fibronectin, 3) laminin, 4) and collagen 4) is a key function of probiotics in promoting beneficial health effects, as well as their antibacterial 5) and immunomodulatory 6) activities.…”

Altered Host-Microbe Interaction in HIV: A Target for Intervention with Pro- and Prebiotics

“…In 36 adults receiving triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection, the addition of L. acidophilus CUL60 and CUL21 and Bifidobacterium spp. decreased the intestinal load of C. albicans, facultative anaerobes, and enterobacteria [125]. Moreover, genomic and metabolic studies suggest that probiotic microbes change the behavior of the intestinal microbiota [126].…”

Effects of anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment and probiotic supplementation on intestinal microbiota

“…Until now, only two clinical studies have investigated the effects of probiotics on microbiota disturbances following anti-Helicobacter triple therapy [10,11]. In a clinical pilot study, Madden et al [10] found that the anaerobic component of the microbiota was most prone to the effects of treatment and that probiotic supplementation accelerated reestablishment of the microbial populations.…”
