Lactobacillus aids gut health during infections
Probiotic/prebiotic correction for adverse effects of iron fortification on intestinal resistance to Salmonella infection in weaning mice.
High relevance for gut health
We aimed to find out if probiotic supplements like lactobacillus acidophilus could help counteract the negative effects of iron fortification, which has been linked to increased diarrhea and food poisoning among children.

In our study with weaning mice, we discovered that high iron diets led to more severe symptoms when infected with Salmonella.

However, when we added lactobacillus acidophilus beforehand, the mice showed less severe symptoms and better intestinal health.

This suggests that probiotics can really help protect gut health against the adverse effects of iron supplements during foodborne infections.

Lactobacillus shows potential against Salmonella
A study on the prevention of salmonella infection by using the aggregation characteristics of lactic Acid bacteria.
High relevance to food safety.
We explored whether Lactobacillus acidophilus, in both live and heat-killed forms, could protect against Salmonella-induced food poisoning. For two weeks, Sprague-Dawley rats received oral doses of L. acidophilus before being exposed to Salmonella.

The rats treated with heat-killed bacteria showed only a moderate rise in body temperature and maintained normal feeding and drinking habits. Although the number of Salmonella in feces was similar in both groups, heat-killed L. acidophilus significantly reduced inflammatory markers compared to the control group.

While it appears L. acidophilus may aid in managing Salmonella infections, it’s important to note that its overall impact may be limited.

Probiotics reduce Salmonella colonization
Evaluation of avian-specific probiotic and Salmonella enteritidis-, Salmonella typhimurium-, and Salmonella heidelberg-specific antibodies on cecal colonization and organ invasion of Salmonella enteritidis in broilers.
Highly relevant to food safety
We looked at how an avian-specific probiotic could help reduce food poisoning risks linked to Salmonella Enteritidis in poultry. Our study used chicks that received a special probiotic treatment and compared them to a control group.

The results showed a marked decrease in Salmonella Enteritidis colonization in the treated chicks over several days, especially at days 3, 7, and beyond. However, body weight gains appeared similar between both groups.

Overall, our findings suggest that using Lactobacillus acidophilus as part of the treatment may effectively lower Salmonella risks in broilers.

Effective remedy
After experiencing food poisoning and during colds, I always take these capsules for seven days on an empty stomach each morning.
