Important considerations<br />
Health-promoting properties/mechanisms are STRAIN-SPECIFIC and<br />
MATRIX-DEPENDENT<br />
Not all strains of a given species possess the health-promoting<br />
properties/mechanisms of action of a probiotic strain of that species.<br />
Also, not all probiotic strains possess all health-promoting properties.<br />
However, mechanisms of action are often multifactorial and are not<br />
mutually exclusive.<br />
Good examples are (target applications, cf. Table 1):<br />
- Lactobacillus casei Shirota (YIT 9029) Yakult<br />
- Lactobacillus casei Imunitass (DN-114 001) Actimel<br />
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (ATCC 53103) Gefilus, Vifit, …<br />
- Lactobacillus jonhsonii La1 (NCC 533) LC1<br />
- Lactobacillus plantarum 299v Provie<br />
