“…Some studies [82,147] have found that postoperative consumption of probiotics (mainly L. plantarum 299) per os improves immune response, reduces the number of postoperative infections, and reduces hospitalization time and the amount of prescribed antibiotics. All of these studies conclude that postoperative endpoints should continue to be thoroughly investigated, and two studies went on to highlight the great potential of topical use of probiotics to protect the wound [15,17].…”

“…Using various state-of-the-art molecular and genetic-based methods, it was found that the skin microbiota is dominated by bacteria from the phyla Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes; resident genera mainly include Propionibacterium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Micrococcus spp., Corynebacterium spp., and Acinetobacter spp. and the main representatives of the fungi being species of the genus Malassezia [15][16][17][18]. e diversity of skin microbiota among individuals depends on age, diet, gender, and environmental and geographical factors.…”

e skin and its microbiota serve as physical barriers to prevent invasion of pathogens. Skin damage can be a consequence of illness, surgery, and burns. e most effective wound management strategy is to prevent infections, promote healing, and prevent excess scarring. It is well established that probiotics can aid in skin healing by stimulating the production of immune cells, and they also exhibit antagonistic effects against pathogens via competitive exclusion of pathogens. Our aim was to conduct a review of recent literature on the efficacy of using probiotics against pathogens that cause wound infections. In this integrative review, we searched through the literature published in the international following databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Scopus using the search terms "probiotic" AND "wound infection." During a comprehensive review and critique of the selected research, fourteen in vitro studies, 8 animal studies, and 19 clinical studies were found. Two of these in vitro studies also included animal studies, yielding a total of 39 articles for inclusion in the review. e most commonly used probiotics for all studies were well-known strains of the species Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus. All in vitro studies showed successful inhibition of chosen skin or wound pathogens by the selected probiotics. Within the animal studies on mice, rats, and rabbits, probiotics showed strong opportunities for counteracting wound infections. Most clinical studies showed slight or statistically significant lower incidence of surgical site infections, foot ulcer infection, or burn infections for patients using probiotics. Several of these studies also indicated a statistically significant wound healing effect for the probiotic groups. is review indicates that exogenous and oral application of probiotics has shown reduction in wound infections, especially when used as an adjuvant to antibiotic therapy, and therefore the potential use of probiotics in this field remains worthy of further studies, perhaps focused more on typical skin inhabitants as next-generation probiotics with high potential.

“…8,9 The immune system of neonatal infants is not completely developed and is disposed to an immature T-helper type Th2-dominant state. 11 Probiotics have also been found to modulate specific and nonspecific immune responses to allergens by affecting phagocytosis and the production of proinflammatory cytokines and IgA. It has been demonstrated that appropriate microbial stimulation in early life contributes to the establishment of a balanced immune system.…”

Probiotics and prebiotics potential for the care of skin, female urogenital tract, and respiratory tract

The prebiotics and probiotics market is constantly growing due to the positive effects of its consumption on human health, which extends beyond the digestive system. In addition, the synbiotic products market is also expanding due to the synergistic effects between pre-and probiotics that provide additional benefits to consumers. Pre-and probiotics are being evaluated for their effectiveness to treat and prevent infectious diseases in other parts of the human body where microbial communities exist. This review examines the scientific data related to the effects of pre-and probiotics on the treatment of diseases occurring in the skin, female urogenital tract, and respiratory tract. The evidence suggests that probiotics consumption can decrease the presence of eczema in children when their mothers have consumed probiotics during pregnancy and lactation. In women, probiotics consumption can effectively prevent recurrent urinary tract infections. The consumption of synbiotic products can reduce respiratory tract infections and their duration and severity. However, the outcomes of the meta-analyses are still limited and not sufficiently conclusive to support the use of probiotics to treat infectious diseases. This is largely a result of the limited number of studies, lack of standardization of the studies, and inconsistencies between the reported results. Therefore, it is advisable that future studies consider these shortcomings and include the evaluation of the combined use of pre-and probiotics.
