Probiotic

Although Probiotic consumption has a long historical association with health and wellbeing globally, with brands such as Actimel, Yacult and various other brands from yogurts to pills and powders form flooding the consumer market; scientific research into how this impacts the intestinal environment is still evolving. However, with the vast developments in research and better scientific techniques, a greater understanding of the ‘Gut microbiota’ (also known as gut microflora) and its significance

strains of bacteria are given the common name of probiotics. Scientists are just now beginning to understand the immense effect of the gut bacteria in human everyday lives and they, very well, may find that through manipulation of probiotics, any disease could potentially be inhibited/cured. There are two major groups of probiotic bacteria: Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Lactobacillus, a rod-shaped, gram-positive bacterium, is the most popular probiotic used and can be found in fermented foods, like

can be life threatening, especially as age increases. Probiotics have shown to help maintain the normal gut flora that is affected by antibiotics and can lessen the effects of diarrhea. This evidence-based practice project explored the effectiveness of probiotics in treating antibiotic associated diarrhea in adults. PICO question: In adult patients on antibiotics (P) how does probiotic/lactobacillus use (I) as compared to absence of probiotic/lactobacillus use (C) affect the incidence of antibiotic

Chisholm, RN and the article publisher is Urologic Nursing. Problem and purpose of the study: The problem and purpose of the study were to find safe and effective alternatives to prevent recurrent UTI’s in women. The author questioned whether probiotics were effective in preventing UTI’s in women, and if they

damage and ischemia of the GI tract of many preterm infants, often resulting in death. Continued deaths and complications embrace the need for a change in practice, to reduce NEC incidence and risk. Various trials have been conducted, with focus on probiotic supplementation as an intervention in decreasing the risk of developing NEC in preterm infants. Taking this intervention into consideration; in infants born preterm, with a very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) (P), how does the

numerous probiotics of different brands. The only reason being I want to keep healthy and perfectly well at all times. Probiotics are filled with various positive benefits, which is why I gave a shot to many of these. I have been a victim of different health issues such as upset stomach and constipation in the previous years. Also, I have read a lot about probiotics during those times. My inability to bear my health problems is what convinced me to go for a probiotic. After my first probiotic, I have

The use of probiotics falls under the term “complementary and alternative medicine” (CAM), a term that encompasses a large number of different health care practices and products that are used with, or in place of, conventional medicine. CAM is the main focus of the National Center of Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), a center within the National Institutes of Health, which is itself an agency of the U.S. Department of Health. [1] The NCCIH’s role is to define the usefulness and safety

Targeting dysbiosis As previously mentioned, dysbiosis occurs when one’s gut microbiota is disrupted. Two ways to target dysbiosis is to incorporate fecal transplantation and initiate prebiotic/ probiotic use. Over time, high quantities and recurrent use of antibiotics can disrupt and weaken the bowel microbiota, which can lead to Clostridium difficile infections. About 35% of these patients experience persistent patterns of this disease and can be very difficult to treat. Transplanting liquid suspension

Numerous studies have assessed the feasibility and effectiveness of supplementing aquafeeds with a variety of potentially probiotic bacteria, but probably the most well documented are LAB [41]. Among LAB, lactobacilli strains have been the focus of much interest. Since, the immune system modulation strongly dependent on the metabolites they produce, such as proteolysis, could release peptides that may (or may not) interact with immune cells to induce distinct immunomodulatory response [42].
