Research which concerns the usefulness of Probiotics show increasing interest based on the rise of their publications, products and the awareness of the public of their benefits. There is increasing interest concerning Probiotics from the public, researchers, governmental organizations (such as the WHO/FAO) and medicinal and food companies. Probiotics means "let good microbes work for you in different fields get their benefits and take a rest". Such work will include, food digestion, production of useful products to destroy the bad microbes, complement the functions of the missed digestive enzymes (due to missed or defective genes), and to maintain the digestive system's pH, and so on. Probiotics will augment the efficiency of our biological fermentors, the digestive system. Many authors have described the history and the progress of Probiotics and their different applications. In this review, we will focus mainly on three points, health improvement, infection control and disease management, which could be eliminated by the use of different types of direct uses of Probiotics or by the use of foods containing Probiotics.
随着益生菌相关出版物、产品的增加以及公众对其益处的认知提高，关于益生菌实用性的研究越来越受到关注。公众、研究人员、政府组织（如世界卫生组织/联合国粮食及农业组织）以及医药和食品公司对益生菌的兴趣与日俱增。益生菌的意思是“让有益微生物在不同领域为你工作，从中受益并得到休息”。这样的工作包括食物消化、生产有益产品以消灭有害微生物、补充缺失的消化酶（由于基因缺失或缺陷）的功能以及维持消化系统的pH值等等。益生菌将提高我们的生物发酵器——消化系统的效率。许多作者描述了益生菌的历史、进展及其不同应用。在本综述中，我们将主要关注三个方面，即健康改善、感染控制和疾病管理，这些方面可以通过直接使用不同类型的益生菌或食用含有益生菌的食物来消除。
