Bifidobacterium longum protects against pneumonia
Control of Klebsiella pneumoniae pulmonary infection and immunomodulation by oral treatment with the commensal probiotic Bifidobacterium longum 5(1A).
High relevance due to impact
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 risk
A four-probiotic preparation for ventilator-associated pneumonia in multi-trauma patients: results of a randomized clinical trial.
Moderate significance for clinical settings
We explored the effectiveness of a probiotic regimen in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) for mechanically ventilated multi-trauma patients. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 112 patients were split into two groups—one receiving probiotics and the other a placebo.
The results showed that those on probiotics had a significantly lower incidence of VAP and sepsis compared to the placebo group. Additionally, their stay in the intensive care unit and overall hospital stay were also reduced.
This suggests that probiotics could be a valuable addition to care for patients facing long-term mechanical ventilation.

Probiotics reduce pneumonia in children
Prebiotic and probiotic fortified milk in prevention of morbidities among children: community-based, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
Significant in pneumonia prevention
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.

Effective recovery
An excellent tool! My brother fell seriously ill with pneumonia this winter and had difficulty recovering. After taking this supplement, he began to improve, especially after the antibiotics affected his intestinal microflora. I definitely recommend it! We frequently use dietary supplements from NOW and have never been disappointed.

Improved immunity
I initially took this for my mother, who has digestion problems. If you take it for at least a month, you will see good results! The composition is excellent! When I had pneumonia due to covid and took antibiotics, these supplements were very helpful. I had no stomach issues during or after the antibiotics, and my recovery was faster.

Symbiotics lower postoperative infections
Perioperative synbiotics administration decreases postoperative infections in patients with colorectal cancer: a randomized, double-blind clinical trial.
Highly relevant to surgical 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.

Probiotics lower postoperative complications
A Four-Probiotics Regimen Reduces Postoperative Complications After Colorectal Surgery: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study.
Strong evidence of probiotic effectiveness.
We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to explore the benefits of a probiotic formulation in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Patients received either placebo or probiotics containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. plantarum, Bifidobacterium lactis, and Saccharomyces boulardii, starting a day before surgery for 15 days afterward.
The results were promising; the probiotics significantly reduced postoperative complications like pneumonia, surgical site infections, and anastomotic leakage. With a lower complication rate and shorter hospital stays for those taking probiotics, the study highlights their potential to enhance recovery after surgery.

L-C-dots show promise against pneumonia
Synergistic antibacterial effects of carbon dots derived from Lactobacillus acidophilus alone and in combination against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Relevant for antibiotic resistance research
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 respiratory infections
Role of multi-strain probiotics in preventing severity and frequency of recurrent respiratory tract infections in children.
Proposed importance due to 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.
