Preferred Label : Lactobacillus plantarum strain 299;
NCIt related terms : LACTOBACILLUS PLANTARUM 299;
NCIt definition : A nutritional supplement containing the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum
299 (Lp 299) with potential antimicrobial, immune-boosting, and anti-inflammatory
activities. Upon oral ingestion, Lp 299 adheres to the intestinal mucosa, modulates
the composition of the normal microflora, helps maintain adequate colonization of
the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and improves digestion and metabolism. Upon colonization
of the GI tract, the probiotic may form a protective barrier, thereby preventing attachment
of pathogens, protecting against infections and boosting the immune system. In addition,
Lp 299 stimulates the secretion of protective mucin and produces lactic acid and hydrogen
peroxide as well as other substances, thereby creating an acidic environment which
prevents growth of pathogens.;
