Analysis of the strain-specific effects of lactobacilli L. casei DG (L. paracasei CNCM I-1572) and the possibility of their use in clinical practice

Abstract

The effectiveness of probiotics is strain-specific. This paper presents the results of a systematic analysis of the promising lactobacterial strain Lactobacillus paracasei CNCM I-1572 (L. casei DG; L. paracasei DG). L. casei DG well survives in the conditions of the stomach and intestines, supports the beneficial microbiota and inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria, exhibits a therapeutic effect in ulcerative colitis, eradication of H. pylori, diverticular bowel disease, and irritable bowel syndrome.
