Probiotics are microorganisms with potential health benefits. They may be used to prevent and treat antibiotic-associated diarrhea and acute infectious diarrhea. They may also be effective in relieving symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, and in treating atopic dermatitis in children. Species commonly used include Lactobacillus sp., Bifidobacterium sp., Streptococcus thermophilus, and Saccharo...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles containing various bioactive cargos—e.g., proteins, RNAs, and lipids—that released into the environment by all cell types. They involved in, amongst other functions, intercellular communication. This article presents studies on EVs produced probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745. The size distribution concentration of in liquid culture ...

To maintain their productive capacity, yeasts cells need to adapt to environmental changes that occur during production process. Acid stress response is of interest, because such exposure occurs under industrial conditions, such as the acidic treatment before cell recycling in fermentation process. Resembling the response to weak organic acids, resistance to inorganic acids exposure involves ch...

Amid trends in non-dairy probiotic foods and functional coffees, it is timely to develop a high-count probiotic, fermented coffee beverage. Here, we aimed enhance the viabilities of different lactobacilli strains brews by co-culturing with yeast, Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM-I745. The growth, survival, metabolic activities Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, Limo...

BACKGROUND Antibiotic treatment is known to disturb gastrointestinal microflora, which results in a range of clinical symptoms--most notably, diarrhea. This is especially important in children, for whom antibiotics are prescribed frequently. Although meta-analyses have been conducted to evaluate the ability of probiotics to prevent antibiotic-induced diarrhea in the general population, little i...
