Bifidobacterium longum protects against pneumonia
We explored how the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum 5(1A) can affect pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in mice. Our study showed that this treatment led to a quicker resolution of lung inflammation and significantly reduced the bacterial load, ultimately saving 100% of the mice from death.
This protective effect was linked to the activation of the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. In particular, B. longum 5(1A) helped balance the body's inflammatory response, promoting a faster recovery in the lungs. Overall, our findings suggest that this probiotic could play a beneficial role in enhancing lung health during infections.

Probiotics reduce pneumonia in children
We explored the role of adding Bifidobacterium lactis and prebiotic oligosaccharides to milk in preventing pneumonia in children aged 1-4 years. In a community-based, randomized controlled trial, children received either control milk or fortified milk over a year.
Our findings revealed a 24% reduction in pneumonia incidence and a 35% decrease in severe acute lower respiratory infections among those receiving the fortified milk. However, while there were positive trends, the overall impact on diarrhea wasn’t significant.
This study highlights the potential benefits of using milk as a delivery system for probiotics in fighting respiratory illnesses in young children.

We explored the potential of probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus acidophilus, in reducing the severity and frequency of respiratory tract infections in children. Conducted at Abbassi Shaheed Hospital, our study analyzed 70 children over six months who received probiotics for two weeks.
Our results showed a significant decline in respiratory symptoms and infections among the participants. Overall, this suggests that probiotics can indeed play a beneficial role in supporting children's respiratory health.

Intestinal recovery
Thanks to these probiotics, my child's intestines returned to normal after pneumonia treatment. I now order it once or twice annually for prevention.

Restored intestinal function
Effective. I gave this to my 4-year-old after their microflora was disrupted post-treatment for pneumonia, leading to persistent fungal issues and disturbed stools. This probiotic effectively corrected their intestinal function, and we followed our paediatrician's advice to administer it for three months.

Improved GI health
The texture is a bit unusual, but my 4-year-old enjoys it. I believe it has been beneficial for gastrointestinal health following a week of antibiotics for pneumonia.

Symbiotics lower postoperative infections
We explored how administering symbiotics, which include Lactobacillus acidophilus, impacts infection rates following colorectal surgery. In a randomized trial with 91 patients, those receiving symbiotics experienced a notable drop in infections compared to the placebo group. Specifically, only 2% of patients on symbiotics developed surgical site infections, whereas 21.4% in the control group did. This indicates that perioperative symbiotic treatment could be beneficial during surgical recovery. However, further research is necessary to confirm these findings.

L-C-dots show promise against pneumonia
We examined how carbon dots sourced from Lactobacillus acidophilus might tackle carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, a tough pneumonia-causing bacteria. Our tests showed that these carbon dots, known as L-C-dots, have strong antibacterial properties and can even work well with regular antibiotics.
Importantly, L-C-dots not only inhibited bacterial growth but also prevented biofilm formation, which is often a barrier to successful treatment. They even helped reduce the expression of specific genes linked to biofilm development.
This research suggests that L-C-dots could be a valuable addition to our arsenal against resistant pneumonia infections.

Probiotics reduce pneumonia rates
We explored the impact of a specific combination of probiotics on preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in critically injured patients on mechanical ventilation. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, patients received either a probiotic formula or a placebo during their treatment.
The results were promising; those who received the probiotics showed a lower incidence of VAP and sepsis, along with shorter ICU stays. This suggests that using probiotics might be a helpful strategy for protecting vulnerable patients from these infections while in intensive care.

Probiotics reduce postoperative complications
We explored the impact of a probiotic formulation—including Lactobacillus acidophilus—on reducing postoperative complications in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we found that those taking the probiotics had significantly lower rates of pneumonia and infections compared to the placebo group.
Particularly, postoperative pneumonia decreased from 11.3% to 2.4%. By the end of our 30-day follow-up, we noticed a marked reduction in various complications, alongside a shorter hospital stay for those on the probiotic regimen.

We explored whether Lactobacillus acidophilus can help combat lung infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
In this study, we administered L. acidophilus orally to infected mice for a week and observed significant reductions in bacterial load and infection severity.
Our findings showed that L. acidophilus treatment not only reduced the harmful effects of these bacteria but also helped in modulating the immune response, by lowering inflammation and boosting protective cytokines.
However, while our results are promising, further research is necessary to understand the full potential of this probiotic in treating pulmonary infections.
