“…While with use of probiotics Billoo et al 2000 (27) , Jobst Henker et al (21) , Enduardo et al (22) Roberto Berni Canani et al (28) and Khanna et al 2000 (23) observed that the mean duration of diarrhoea was 3.6 days, 2.5 days, 58.5 hours, 78.5 hours and 58.78 hours respectively. Similarly Szajewska H. et al 2006; (29) observed that probiotics use were significantly reduced the duration of diarrhoea. Pashapour et al 2005 (24) observed the mean frequencies at day third were 4.3 ± 1.74 days in yoghurt treated group.…”

“…This probiotic activity may be a possible reason for the medicinal value of kpètè-kpètè. Indeed, many probiotic microorganisms are reported to be useful in the improvement of some gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal disorders (Kotowska et al 2005;Szajewska et al 2005), inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), vaginal infections and the stimulation of immune system (Szajewska et al, 2007). In addition, some lactic bacteria have been used to prevent diarrhoea caused by excessive use of antibiotics.…”

Objective: The present study aims to document the indigenous Knowledge associated with the production of starters culture to be used for opaque sorghum beers manufacturing in Benin Methodology and results: A quantitative survey was carried out in the central and the northern regions of Benin. A total of ninety (90) processors of traditional beers were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The collected information was related to the processing method of the starters' production, its shelf life as well as sociodemographic data on the producers. Five types of starters were identified during this investigation. Apart from the beer itself which can be used as starter, we can distinguish kpètè-kpètè; the fermentation calabash, the bag and the belt of fermentation. Among them, the fermentation calabash was mostly used by 74% (67/90) of beer producers followed by kpètè-kpètè 21% (19/90). In some cases, these starters were used in association with each other to speed up the fermentation process. All the producers were women with an average age of 38 years old. Among those women, about 73% (66/90) produce and sell the beer as principal activity. According to 56% (51/90) of the producers, the quality of the manufactured beer depends on the quality of the starter used. Many other factors such as the sorghum variety, the brewing technique can also affect the beer quality. It is reported by 70% (63/90) of producers that the storage duration reduces the fermentative ability of kpètè-kpètè. Some health-related properties such as the treatment of diarrhoea have been attributed to kpètè-kpètè by 73% (66/90) of the producers interviewed. Conclusion and application of results: the fermentation calabash is the most used starter by traditional beer producers because of the quality of the derived beer. The kpètè-kpètè comes in the second position but possesses the advantage of being used by people to cure humans and animals diseases.

“…There are several randomized placebo-controlled studies showing the efficacy of S. boulardii in the management and prevention of acute childhood diarrhoea (Htwe et al, 2008;Szajewska et al, 2007). A meta-analysis based on 5 randomized-controlled trials (619 participants) displayed this effect (Szajewska et al, 2007). Combined data showed that S. boulardii reduces significantly diarrhoea duration and the risk of prolonged diarrhoea compared with control.…”

“…The aetiology of acute diarrhoea in children includes infections of the gastrointestinal tract due to bacteria, viruses or protozoa, intoxications, systemic infections, malabsorption disorders, nutritional deficiency, allergy and intolerance to food or drugs (Guandalini, 2000). There are several randomized placebo-controlled studies showing the efficacy of S. boulardii in the management and prevention of acute childhood diarrhoea (Htwe et al, 2008;Szajewska et al, 2007). A meta-analysis based on 5 randomized-controlled trials (619 participants) displayed this effect (Szajewska et al, 2007).…”

“…Several clinical trials have been performed to assess the efficacy of S. boulardii in the prevention and the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases which induce diarrhoea (Kotowska et al, 2005;McFarland, 2006;McFarland et al, 1994;Szajewska et al, 2007). Diarrhoea is defined as frequent watery stools resulting from impaired fluid and electrolyte absorption in the intestinal lumen, and is usually caused by pathogenic micro-organisms (Roy et al, 1995).…”

Health benefits attributed to probiotics have been described for decades. They include the treatment and the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases, vaginal and urinary infections and allergies. Saccharomyces boulardii, a species of yeast widely distributed, has been described as a biotherapeutic agent since several clinical trials displayed its beneficial effects in the prevention and the treatment of intestinal infections and in the maintenance of inflammatory bowel disease. All these diseases are characterized by acute diarrhoea. Administration of the yeast in combination or not with an antibiotherapy has shown to decrease significantly the duration and the frequency of diarrhoea. Experimental studies elucidated partially the molecular mechanisms triggered to improve the host health. The discovery of its anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory activities in correlation with the advances in the understanding of mucosal immunology opens a new field of perspectives in S. boulardii therapeutic applications.
