Lactobacillus reuteri CECT8605 has shown potential probiotic properties in both in vitro and in vivo assays. Besides its beneficial characteristics, general aspects concerning genetic stability and safety for human consumption have been studied. Its genome sequence has been a useful tool to support preliminary conclusions based on empirical observations.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the Lactobacillus farciminis strain NBRC 111452, isolated from kôso, a Japanese sugar-vegetable fermented beverage. This genome information is of potential use in studies of Lactobacillus farciminis as a probiotic.

conclusions employing the lpe as a new approach, gives novel concept of probiotic-products in food and medical marketing. results results showed that, lpe had more antipathogenic effects, antioxidant activity, and stability during storage-time when compared to fresh probiotic-extract. objectives in this study extract of cultured probiotics without cells was evaluated for its antimicrobial effec...

background: considering the high prevalence of bacterial vaginosis and its association with urinary tract infection in women and treatment of gynecologic problems occur when a high recurrence of bacterial vaginosis is often treated with antibiotics. the purpose of this study is to investigate the inhibitory effect of lactobacillus rhamnosus on pathogenic bacteria isolated from women with bacter...

this study investigated the survival of a probiotic strain of lactobacillus acidophilus (la-5) in jug cheese during storage (120 days at 6-8 °c). the jug cheese treatments were: c (control), containing commercial starter frc-65; la, containing lactobacillus acidophilus; and las, containing commercial starter and lactobacillus acidophilus. the results showed that the amount of lactobacillus acid...

1. Risk of lactobacillus infection in critically ill adults receiving lactobacillus probiotics. Zach Ruege, Pharm.D.; UGA College of Pharmacy, Augusta, GA INTRODUCTION: Probiotics have been advocated in critically ill patients to mitigate risk for developing Clostridium difficile infection and ventilator associated pneumonia. Critically ill patients display suppressed immune response of the int...

The uses, mechanisms of action, and safety of probiotics are discussed. Probiotics are live microorganisms or microbial mixtures administered to improve the patient's microbial balance, particularly the environment of the gastrointestinal tract and the vagina. The yeast Saccharomyces boulardii and the bacterium Lactobacillus rhamnosus, strain GG, have shown efficacy in clinical trials for the p...

Objective: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent, burdensome, and psychologically important pediatric concern. Probiotics have been suggested as a treatment for AD. Some reports have explored this topic; however, the utility of probiotics for AD remains to be firmly established. Methods: To assess the effects of probiotics on AD in children, the PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library Scopus, and OVID...

Lactobacillus salivarius LPM01 (DSM 22150) is a probiotic strain able to improve health status in immunocompromised people. Here, we report its complete genome sequence deciphered by PacBio single-molecule real-time (SMRT) technology. Analysis of the sequence may provide insights into its functional activity and safety assessment.
