NCIt synonyms : Lactobacillus-based Probiotic BSL_PS6; Lactobacillus Supplement BSL_PS6;
NCIt definition : A probiotic composed of a strain of the Gram-positive, naturally-occurring bacterium
Lactobacillus, with potential antimicrobial, immunomodulatory and protective activities.
Upon oral administration of the Lactobacillus probiotic BSL_PS6, the Lactobacillus
strain may improve digestion and help maintain adequate colonization of the gastrointestinal
(GI) tract by modulating the composition of the normal microflora. During colonization
of the GI tract, this bacterium adheres to human intestinal epithelial cells, and
activates intestinal epithelial proliferation. This promotes the formation and maintenance
of a protective barrier, thereby preventing the attachment of harmful pathogens. The
Lactobacillus produces an acidic environment that is unfavorable for pathogens, thereby
further protecting the intestinal mucosa against pathogen-induced damage and a loss
of integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier. Dietary supplementation with this
bacterium may decrease intestinal inflammation and enhance intestinal immune responses.;
