Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their probio-active cellular substances exert many beneficial effects in the gastrointestinal tract. LAB prevent adherence, establishment, and replication of several enteric mucosal pathogens through several antimicrobial mechanisms. LAB also release various enzymes into the intestinal lumen and exert potential synergistic effects on digestion and alleviate symptoms of intestinal malabsoption. Consumption of LAB fermented dairy products with LAB may elicit…

Anticancer activity of lactic acid bacteria.
Regulatory properties of lactic acid bacteria for improving immune homeostasis
TLDR
The findings suggest that both bacterial strains and their secreted components should be considered when designing functional foods, and provide technology platforms for selections of candidate strains or bacterial secreted factors with potential immune-active or gut barrier-modulating functions.
Potential of probiotics as biotherapeutic agents targeting the innate immune system
TLDR
The potential of probiotics as immuno-enhancing agents and the future perspective in developing potent probiotics with immunostimulatory molecules that can serve as outstanding vaccine adjuvants are reviewed.
Interactions of lactic acid bacteria with human intestinal epithelial cells: effects on cytokine production.
TLDR
Different strains were found to have differing abilities to interact with IEC, with L. rhamnosus R0011 being the strain that generally had the most extensive effects onHT-29 cytokine production and also bound to HT-29 IEC most effectively.
Probiotics and their fermented food products are beneficial for health
TLDR
Recent scientific investigation has supported the important role of probiotics as a part of a healthy diet for human as well as for animals and may be an avenue to provide a safe, cost effective, and ‘natural' approach that adds a barrier against microbial infection.
Prophylactic and therapeutic uses of probiotics: a review.
Acute oral toxicity and bacterial translocation studies on potentially probiotic strains of lactic acid bacteria.
Potentials of Probiotics as Alternative Therapy in Combating Bacterial Diseases: A Review
TLDR
Probiotics are live nonpathogenic microorganisms embedded in food and administered to improve microbial balance and inhibit the onset and alleviate the symptoms of inflammatory diseases, such as intestinal and metabolic diseases and allergy.
Lactic Acid Bacteria and Their Bacteriocins: Classification, Biosynthesis and Applications against Uropathogens: A Mini-Review
TLDR
The potential of LAB isolates and their bacteriocins to control uropathogens, with a view to limit clinical use of antibiotics is explored.
Probiotics Bacteria in Fermented Dairy Products
TLDR
The nutritional value of diary based product that contains probiotic bacteria on the gastrointestinal health and functions have been investigated in this study and certain disease with gastrointestinal tract were inhibited through high consumption of yogurt.

The potential of lactic acid bacteria for the production of safe and wholesome food
TLDR
The wholesomeness of LAB can be extended to fields outside human nutrition, as they may act as probiotics in animal production or as plant protectives in agriculture and thus contribute to healthy raw materials for food production.
Lactobacilli, anticarcinogenic activities and human intestinal microflora.
TLDR
Certain strains of lactobacilli might lower the colon cancer risk in humans, as in rats and humans given L. acidophilus, which significantly reduced the mutagen excretion after consumption of fried meat.
Immunomodulation of human blood cells following the ingestion of lactic acid bacteria.
TLDR
Nonspecific, anti-infective mechanisms of defense can be enhanced by the ingestion of specific lactic acid bacteria strains that can be used as nutritional supplements to improve the immune function of particular age groups, i.e., the neonate or the elderly.
Antagonistic activities of lactic acid bacteria in food and feed fermentations.
TLDR
Interest has arisen in the use of the varied antagonistic activities of LAB to extend the shelf-life of protein-rich products such as meats and fish and recent findings indicate that the newly discovered Lactobacillus reuteri reuterin system may be used for this purpose.
Is there a role for lactobacilli in prevention of urogenital and intestinal infections?
TLDR
Using Lactobacillus strains resistant to Nonoxynol-9, a spermicide that kills members of the protective normal vaginal flora, may have potential for use in women with recurrent cystitis using this contraceptive agent.
Therapeutic role of dietary lactobacilli and lactobacillic fermented dairy products
TLDR
Lactic acid bacteria present in the human and animal gut are introduced through fermented milk products, food and feed supplements containing viable bacteria and are involved in the host metabolism.
Antigenotoxic properties of lactic acid bacteria in vivo in the gastrointestinal tract of rats.
TLDR
A method to assess DNA damage in tumor target tissues of the gastrointestinal tract and elucidate antigenotoxic properties of food components in vivo in those target tissues actually afflicted by dietary-related tumors is developed.
Anticarcinogenic, hypocholesterolemic, and antagonistic activities of Lactobacillus acidophilus.
TLDR
Lactobacillus acidophilus is considered to possess health-promoting attributes and antagonistic action against intestinal and food-born pathogens that accrue over a longer period than those organisms that cannot colonize the gut.
[Adjuvant activity of lactic bacteria: perspectives for its use in oral vaccines].
TLDR
It is suggested that the lactobacilli by oral route, exert a strong adjuvant activity which is responsible for the enhanced host immune responses obtained, and could be considered as the most promising oral adjUvant.
Immunoadjuvant activity of oral Lactobacillus casei: influence of dose on the secretory immune response and protective capacity in intestinal infections.
Lactobacilli, often used as effectors of host functions, could play an important role in maintaining human health by controlling other intestinal microorganisms capable of producing harmful effects.…
