| description | There has been a signifi cant increase in research on probiotics-associated health benefi ts in the last 20 years. Many
studies carried out in vitro and clinically show that consumption of probiotics inhibits the growth of pathogenic
microorganisms. Furthermore, the consumption of probiotics also enhances the host immune response and decreases the
levels of carcinogenesis-inducing enzymes. These positive outcomes have led to the use of probiotics in prevention and
treatment of infectious diseases like bacterial or antibiotic associated diarrhea, chronic infl ammatory bowel diseases
and colon cancer. This review summarises literature pertaining to mechanistic actions of probiotics in improving the
well-being of hosts. |
