Journal ArticleDOI
Immunomodulation of Human Blood Cells Following the Ingestion of Lactic Acid Bacteria
TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of a specific humoral immune response and changes in intestinal flora mediated through fermented milk intake
TL;DR: Results indicate that lactic acid bacteria which can persist in the gastrointestinal tract can act as adjuvants to the humoral immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific probiotic therapy attenuates antibiotic induced visceral hypersensitivity in mice

TL;DR: Perturbations in gut flora and in inflammatory cell activity alter sensory neurotransmitter content in the colon, and result in altered visceral perception, and may be prevented by specific probiotic administration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical mother-neonate transfer of maternal gut bacteria via breastfeeding
TL;DR: It is shown that (viable) obligate gut-associated anaerobes may be vertically transferred from mother to neonate via breastfeeding, which supports the recently suggested hypothesis of a novel way of mother-neonate communication, in which maternal gut bacteria reach breast milk via an entero-mammary pathway to influence neonatal gut colonization and maturation of the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immune modulation of blood leukocytes in humans by lactic acid bacteria: criteria for strain selection.
TL;DR: Bacterial adhesion to enterocytes, fecal colonization, or both seem to be valuable selection criteria for immunomodulation, and antiinfective mechanisms of defense can be enhanced after ingestion of specific lactic acid bacteria strains.
