Probiotic treatments are thought to increase the levels of commensal bacterial species that populate the human gut, causing no harm to their host and playing an important role in maintaining gut health. This study is an investigation of the effect of a probiotic treatment on the level of a known commensal bacterium in the guts of healthy human subjects, which was significantly increased with probiotic treatment compared with a control. The authors concluded that the probiotic may thus help to promote gut health.
益生菌疗法被认为可以增加寄居于人类肠道中的共生细菌种类的数量，这些细菌对宿主无害，并在维持肠道健康方面发挥重要作用。本研究调查了益生菌疗法对健康人类受试者肠道中一种已知共生细菌水平的影响，与对照组相比，益生菌疗法使该细菌水平显著增加。作者得出结论，该益生菌可能有助于促进肠道健康。
