Lactobacillus species

Lactobacillus salivarius

A rod-shaped, gram-positive bacterium naturally found in the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans. It produces lactic acid and antimicrobial peptides, which inhibit the growth of harmful pathogens. This species is also known for its ability to adapt to harsh environments, making it effective for oral supplementation.

​

• Animal Healthcare: Improves intestinal health by reducing harmful bacteria such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli. It enhances nutrient absorption, strengthens the immune system, and minimizes gastrointestinal disorders in poultry and livestock.

​​

• Nutraceutical Industry: Supports digestive health by maintaining a balanced gut microbiota, alleviating symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and enhancing immune response in humans.

Lactobacillus helveticus

A lactic acid bacterium widely used in the dairy industry for the production of cheese and fermented milk products. It also produces bioactive peptides that improve calcium absorption and gut health.

​

• Animal Healthcare: Enhances calcium metabolism, promoting stronger bones and teeth in animals. It also reduces gastrointestinal infections by outcompeting pathogenic bacteria.

​​

• Nutraceutical Industry: Improves bone density by enhancing calcium absorption and reduces lactose intolerance symptoms. It is often used in functional dairy products and supplements.

Lactobacillus johnsonii

A probiotic strain known for its role in modulating the immune system and reducing gastrointestinal infections. It produces antimicrobial substances that inhibit harmful bacteria like Clostridium difficile and Helicobacter pylori

​

• Animal Healthcare: Enhances gut health, improves feed efficiency, and reduces the colonization of pathogens in the intestines of poultry and swine. It has a role in improving overall weight gain and feed conversion ratios.

​​

• Nutraceutical Industry: Promotes gastrointestinal health by reducing bloating and diarrhea and supports the immune response. It is also used in supplements for individuals with gut sensitivities.

Lactobacillus casei

A gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that ferments lactose to produce lactic acid, supporting a healthy gut environment. It enhances immunity and supports digestive health.

• Animal Healthcare: Reduces the risk of diarrhea and gastrointestinal infections in animals, especially during weaning or stress.

• Nutraceutical Industry: Alleviates constipation and improves digestion, particularly in individuals with lactose intolerance.

Lactobacillus plantarum

A resilient probiotic that adapts to various environments and produces antimicrobial peptides, improving gut health and reducing inflammation.

• Animal Healthcare: Enhances intestinal barrier integrity, reduces gut inflammation, and protects against bacterial infections in livestock.

​​

• Nutraceutical Industry: Supports digestive health, reduces symptoms of IBS, and has antioxidant properties.

Lactobacillus acidophilus

A lactic acid-producing bacterium that maintains gut pH, supports gut microbiota balance, and inhibits harmful pathogens.

• Animal Healthcare: Enhances milk production in dairy animals by improving digestion and reducing gut-related stress.

​​

• Nutraceutical Industry: Helps reduce gastrointestinal disorders like diarrhea and improves lactose digestion in humans.
