Prebiotic EN positively influenced certain gut bacteria, including Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Faecalicatena gnavus, and antibiotic resistance gene expression.
Even small differences between strains of gut bacteria—often within the same species—can sway how these microbes interact with the human body and influence disease outcomes.
A microbiota-mediated macrophage-dependent mechanism may be used to reduce diabetes incidence in vivo.
Altered gut bacteria may contribute to fibromyalgia and modifying the gut microbiota could offer a promising approach to reduce symptoms of the condition.
A healthy, diverse gut microbiota is important for mounting strong and lasting immune responses to vaccination.
Probiotic supplementation improves sports performance by enhancing nutrient absorption, immune function, and endurance while reducing anxiety and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Introducing more natural microbes could improve astronauts’ health.
