Abstract:

Fuller, in 1989, described probiotic microorganisms as “a live microbial feed supplement,which beneficially affects the host animal, by improving its intestinal microbial balance”.Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii (S.boulardii) is an accurate probiotic yeast idol.The detection and budding of S.boulardiiis firmly related to the impression of healthinessto promote microorganisms from foodstuff. S.boulardiiis similar to S.cerevisiae in that itequally does not have the capability to penetrate into tissues like the Candida species isable to, hence they are not invasive. Some printed medicinal researches have shown theeffectiveness and safety of S.boulardii for different illness indications in both adults andchildren. On the subject of the therapy employed, diverse indications of S.boulardii are asfollows: Anticipation of antibiotic related diarrhea, recurring Clostridium difficile relateddiarrhea and colitis, severe viral and bacterial diarrhea, travelers’ diarrhea, antiinflammatorybowel syndromes as well as Crohn's disease and so on. These days,S.boulardii is regularly marketed as a probiotic in a lyophilized shape and is oftenreferred to as S.boulardii lyo.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii – Probiotic Yeast

The discovery and study of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii (Sb) is strictly related to the concept of health promoting microorganisms from food. The first most well-known and popularized throughout Europe assumption of health promoting food containing living microorganisms was yogurt. Appointed in 1888 by Louis Pasteur, Ilya Ilyich Metchnikov working in Paris developed...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii fungemia following probiotic treatment

Probiotics are commonly prescribed as an adjuvant in the treatment of antibiotic-associated diarrhea caused by Clostridium difficile. We report the case of an immunocompromised 73-year-old patient on chemotherapy who developed Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii fungemia in a central venous catheter during treatment of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis with the probiotic Saccha...

Antioxidant properties and global metabolite screening of the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii.

BACKGROUND Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii is the only yeast species with probiotic properties. It is considered to have therapeutic significance in gastrointestinal disorders. In the present study, a comparative physiological study between this yeast and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (BY4742) was performed by evaluating two prominent traits of probiotic species, responses to different stres...

Draft Genome Sequence of the Probiotic Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii Strain ATCC MYA-796

Saccharomyces boulardii is the only yeast approved as a probiotic for human consumption. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the strain ATCC MYA-796, derived from the French Ultra Levure probiotic drug. The genome has a size of 11.6 Mb with 5,305 putative open reading frames predicted.

Preparation of Proper Culture Medium for Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii with Molasses and Animal Serum

Introduction: The purpose of this study was formulation and preparation of a proper culture medium for Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii with molasses and animal serum. Methods: A fully-crossed factorial design contain 5%, 10% and 20% of molasses (M) with 0, 1% and 5% animal serum (S) was used in this study. The pH of all culture medias were adjusted to 5.6 with acetic acid. The seed was ...
