TLDR
The concept of artificially boosting the Lactobacilli numbers through probiotic administration has long been conceived but has been recently shown to be possible, and may especially be useful for women with a history of recurrent, complicated UTIs or on prolonged antibiotic use.About:

Prevention and treatment of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections in the era of increasing antimicrobial resistance-non-antibiotic approaches: a systemic review
TL;DR: An overview on non-antibiotic options for management of UTI, including the application of cranberry products, the phytodrug Canephron N, probiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), d-mannose, estrogens, vitamins, and immunotherapy are provided.

TL;DR: It is suggested that continuous daily ingestion of 1073R-1-yogurt may help prevent infection with influenza A virus subtype H3N2 in elderly subjects with weakened immunity, by increasing the production of influenza Airus subtype of H3n2-bound salivary IgA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Vaginal Lactobacillus Species on Escherichia coli Growth.
TL;DR: Three of the most common vaginal Lactobacillus species inhibit E. coli growth, likely through creating a low pH environment, however, L. iners, one of themost common species found after menopause, does not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activities of Probiotic Lactobacilli on Antibiotic-Resistant Proteus mirabilis.
TL;DR: Cultures and cell-free supernatants of Lactobacillus casei and LactOBacillus reuteri exhibited antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities that could be utilized to combat Proteus-associated urinary tract infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probiotics in human mental health and diseases - A minireview
TL;DR: The role of probiotics in maintaining healthy gut microbiota and detailed outcomes of clinical trials are reported and suggest that the consumption of probiotic formulations improves cognitive function, stress management, and decision-making.

Innate Immune Recognition
TL;DR: Microbial recognition by Toll-like receptors helps to direct adaptive immune responses to antigens derived from microbial pathogens to distinguish infectious nonself from noninfectious self.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Modulation of the Human Colonic Microbiota: Introducing the Concept of Prebiotics
TL;DR: By combining the rationale of pro- and prebiotics, the concept of synbiotics is proposed to characterize some colonic foods with interesting nutritional properties that make these compounds candidates for classification as health-enhancing functional food ingredients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toll-like receptors.
TL;DR: This unit discusses mammalian Toll receptors (TLR1‐10) that have an essential role in the innate immune recognition of microorganisms and are discussed are TLR‐mediated signaling pathways and antibodies that are available to detect specific TLRs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that conventionalization of adult germ-free C57BL/6 mice with a normal microbiota harvested from the distal intestine (cecum) of conventionally raised animals produces a 60% increase in body fat content and insulin resistance within 14 days despite reduced food intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toll-like receptors and innate immunity
TL;DR: This work has shown that activation of inflammatory and antimicrobial innate immune responses through recognition of Toll-like receptors expressed on dendritic cells triggers functional maturation of dendrites and leads to initiation of antigen-specific adaptive immune responses.
