Probiotics are live microorganisms that can provide health benefits when consumed. They work by balancing the bacteria in the digestive system. Common probiotic foods include yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso soup, pickles, tempeh, and kombucha tea. Research suggests that probiotics may help prevent and treat diarrhea, reduce symptoms of digestive disorders, boost immune function, and reduce the severity of allergies and eczema. However, more research is still needed to fully understand their health impacts.

At the start of the 20th century, Russian noble prize winner and father of modern immunology, Elie Metchnikoff, a scientist at the Pasteur institute, was the first conceptualize “probiotics”.
In 1907 Metchnokoff proposed that the acid producing bacteria in fermented milk products could prevent “fouling” in the large intestine and if consumed regularly, lead to a longer, healthier life.
In early 1930’s, in Japan, Minoru shirota developed a fermented milk product called Yakult (probiotic yogurt like product made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk with a special strain of Lactobacillus casei shirota).
Probiotic term coined in 1965 by Lilly and StillwellThe human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a highly specialised ecosystem that has evolved over
time, both physiologically and microbiologically. At least in part, this is a consequence of the
host and environmental pressures that it must counteract in order to maintain eubiosis. The
GI tract is one of the most diverse and metabolically active organs in the human body. The
human gut and its microbiota cannot be realistically considered as separate entities as they
represent a dynamic biological system that has co-evolved from birth. The human GI tract
is composed of highly adapted regions for mediation of its diverse functions, many of which
impact markedly upon host health and welfare. Physiological considerations in each unique
region infl uence the degree and type of colonisation and initial colonisers also modify the
physiological conditions therein. This results in the development of distinct microhabitats
along the length of the GI tract, which infl uence metabolism, protection and immune stimulation.
Such effects are both local and systemic as the GI tract is connected to the vascular,
lymphatic and nervous systems. The ability of the gut to sustain its benefi cial microbiota,
against harmful or opportunistic microbiota, in a desirable community structure, is critical
for host health and reduction of disease risk. The focus of this chapter is to discuss how the
complex interplays between the human GI tract and its indigenous microbiota affect host
health and how certain benefi cial microbial species, with their potential for manipulation,
are crucial to this processThe human gastrointestinal tract is sterile up until birth, when microbial colonisation begins
during the delivery process. The inoculum may be largely derived either from the mother’s
vaginal or faecal fl ora (in a conventional birth) or from the environment (in a caesarean
delivery).Hence, the microbiota that colonise the newborn tract are acquired post-natally.
This is of extreme importance in the choice of delivery, as newborns delivered by caesarean
section are exposed to a different microbiota than that of a vaginal delivery. Bacterial
populations develop progressively during the fi rst few days of life; facultative anaerobes
predominate initially and create a reduced environment that allows for the growth of strict

2. Probiotics are microorganisms that are claimed to provide health benefits when consumed. The
introduction of the concept (but not the term) is generally attributed to Nobel laureate Élie Metchnikoff.
He suggested in 1907 that "the dependence of the intestinal microbes on the food makes it possible to
adopt measures to modify the flora in our bodies and to replace the harmful microbes by
Probiotics are considered generally safe, but may cause bacteria-host interactions and unwanted side
effects in rare cases.
World Health Organization's (WHO) 2001 defines probiotics as live micro-organisms that, "...when
administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.
3. Safety of the potential probiotic should be assessed by the minimum required tests:
o Determination of antibiotic resistance patterns.
o Assessment of certain metabolic activities (e.g., D-lactate production, bile salt
deconjugation).
o Assessment of side effects during human studies.
o Epidemiological surveillance of adverse incidents in consumers (after market).
o If the strain under evaluation belongs to a species that is a known mammalian
toxin producer, it must be tested for toxin production. One possible scheme for
testing toxin production has been recommended by the EU Scientific Committee
on Animal Nutrition.
o If the strain under evaluation belongs to a species with known hemolytic
potential, determination of hemolytic activity is required.
5. Potential health effects of supplemental probiotics has included the molecular biology
and genomics of Lactobacillus in immune function, cancer, and antibiotic-associated diarrhea,
travellers' diarrhea, pediatric diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, and irritable bowel
syndrome.
Research suggest that the relationship between gut flora and humans is
a mutualistic relationship, very little evidence supports claims that
probiotic dietary supplements have any health benefits. Improved health
through gut flora modulation appears to be directly related to long-term
dietary changes.
6. Allergies
Probiotics are ineffective in preventing allergies in children, with the possible exception of eczema.
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) Antibiotics are a common treatment for children, and 20% of antibiotic-
treated children develop diarrhea results from an imbalance in the colonic microbiota caused by antibiotic therapy.
Microbiota alteration changes carbohydrate metabolism, with decreased short-chain fatty acid absorption and
osmotic diarrhea. The potential efficacy of probiotic AAD prevention depends on the probiotic strains and dosage.
Bacterial vaginosis : Probiotic treatment of bacterial vaginosis is the application or ingestion of bacterial species
found in the healthy vagina to cure the infection of bacteria causing bacterial vaginosis. This treatment is based on
the observation that 70% of healthy females have a group of bacteria in the genus Lactobacillus that dominate the
population of organisms in the vagina. L. acidophilus and L. rhamnosus, were able to normalize vaginal pH and
rebalance vaginal flora, preventing and alleviating bacterial vaginosis.
Blood pressure : The consumption of probiotics may modestly help to control high blood pressure.
Cholesterol : Preliminary human and animal studies have demonstrated the efficacy of some strains of lactic acid
bacteria (LAB) for reducing serum cholesterol levels, presumably by breaking down bile in the gut, thus inhibiting
its reabsorption.
Diarrhea : Some probiotics are suggested as a possible treatment for various forms of gastroenteritis, and a
Cochrane Collaboration meta-analysis on the use of probiotics to treat acute infectious diarrhea.
Eczema : Probiotics are commonly given to breast-feeding mothers and their young children to prevent eczema,
but some doubt exists over the strength of evidence supporting this practice.
7. Allergies…
Helicobacter pylori : Some strains of lactic acid bacteria may affect Helicobacter pylori infections (which may
cause peptic ulcers) in adults when used in combination with standard medical treatments, but no standard in
medical practice or regulatory approval exists for such treatment.
Immune function and infections : Some strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may affect pathogens by means
of competitive inhibition (i.e., by competing for growth) and some evidence suggests they may improve
immune function by increasing the number of IgA-producing plasma cells and increasing or
improving phagocytosis, as well as increasing the proportion of T lymphocytes and natural killer cells.
Inflammation : Some strains of LAB may modulate inflammatory and hypersensitivity responses, an
observation thought to be at least in part due to the regulation of cytokine function. Clinical studies are
assessing whether they can prevent recurrences of inflammatory bowel disease in adults, as well as affect
milk allergies. How probiotics may influence the immune system remains unclear.
Urinary tract : There is no good evidence that probiotics are of benefit in the management of infection or
inflammation of the urinary tract.
Vitamin production : Probiotic treatment has been studied as a means of addressing disorders associated
with vitamin deficiencies including those of vitamin K, folic acid,and vitamin B12 .
8. Strains
Live probiotic cultures are available in fermented dairy products and probiotic fortified foods. Some
fermented products contain lactic acid bacteria, including pickled vegetables, tempeh, miso, kefir, buttermilk
or karnemelk, kimchi, pao cai, sauerkraut, and soy sauce.
Probiotic Foods
Yogurt : Goat’s milk is a rich source of proteins, vitamins, and minerals while having better digestibility
and lower allergenicity than cow’s milk. Goat milk yogurt is particularly high in probiotics like
thermophillus, bifudus, and bulgaricus, and can be infused with extra forms of probiotics like
lactobacillus or acidophilus.
Kefir : this fermented dairy product is a unique combination of goat’s milk and fermented kefir grains.
High in lactobacilli and bifidus bacteria, kefir is also rich in antioxidants.
Sauerkraut : Made from fermented cabbage (and sometimes other vegetables), sauerkraut is not only
extremely rich in healthy live cultures, but might also help with reducing allergy symptoms. Sauerkraut is
also rich in vitamins A, B, C, and K.
Microalgae : This refers to super-food ocean-based plants such as spirulina, chlorella, and blue-green
algae. While not a probiotic itself, microalgae can act as a prebiotic, which means that it feeds and
nourishes the probiotics already in your gut.
9. Probiotic foods…
Miso Soup : Miso is one the mainstays of traditional Japanese medicine and is commonly
used in macrobiotic cooking as a digestive regulator. Made from fermented rye, beans, rice
or barley, adding a tablespoon of miso to some hot water makes an excellent, quick,
probiotic-rich soup, full of lactobacilli and bifidus bacteria.
Pickles : Believe it or not, the provincial pickle packs a punch of prime
probiotics. In the U.S., the term “pickle” usually refers to pickled
cucumbers specifically, but most vegetables can be pickled. All of them
boast the same briny goodness and probiotic potential.
Tempeh : A great substitute for meat or tofu, tempeh is a fermented,
probiotic-rich grain made from soybeans. A great source of vitamin
B12, this vegetarian food can be sauteed, baked or eaten crumbled on
salads.
10. Probiotics…
Kimchi : An Asian form of pickled sauerkraut, kimchi is an extremely spicy
and sour fermented cabbage, typically served alongside meals in Korea.
Besides beneficial bacteria, Kimchi is also a great source of vitamin C, B
vitamins, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, potassium, and dietary fiber.
Kombucha Tea : Kombucha is a form of fermented tea that contains a
high amount of healthy gut bacteria.[12] This probiotic drink has been used
for centuries and is believed to help increase your energy, enhance your
well-being and maybe even help you lose weight.
