The value of exogenously supplied live bacteria for the maintenance of health in humans has been recognized both scientifically in the published literature and commercially in the availability of probiotic products. Although many bacteria characterized as probiotics are strains of Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium, sporeforming bacteria, primarily of the genus Bacillus and related genera, have also been studied and commercialized as probiotics. This article reviews the characterization, efficacy, and safety of sporeformers used as probiotics.
外源性提供的活细菌对维持人类健康的价值,已在已发表的科学文献中得到认可,并且在益生菌产品的可得性方面也得到了商业认可。尽管许多被归类为益生菌的细菌是乳酸杆菌或双歧杆菌菌株,但主要为芽孢杆菌属及相关属的产芽孢细菌,也已作为益生菌进行了研究和商业化。本文综述了用作益生菌的产芽孢细菌的特性、功效和安全性。
