- Strain isolated from feces from babies
- Strain safe for human use: genome sequence (WGS) and safety data (antibiotic sensitivity) are available
- Strain subjected to EU patent application and PCT
- Strain stability in liofilized powder form available over 6 months
The strain was tested in vitro for the following features
- the strain is sensitive to 9 antibiotics according to EFSA standards
- the strain adheres to the Caco-2 epithelial intestinal cells
- the strain is able to ferment prebiotics (FOS, raffinose and lactulose)
- the strain has antipathogenic activity and adhesive ability to intestinal cells, it survives the gastric and intestinal transit
- the strain has immunomodulatory properties: it activates dendritic cells, stimulates CD86 and CD40 markers, promotes expression of MHC I and II that support mucolase and systemic immunity
- the stain is able to to induce a two-fold induction in GLP-1 secretion in human L-cells (antidiabetogenic potential)
