Significance and effects of prenatal and postnatal microbiome in the period of early individual development and options for interventional treatment
Orv Hetil. 2021 May 9;162(19):731-740. doi: 10.1556/650.2021.32082.ABSTRACTÖsszefoglaló. A humán mikrobiom az emberi szervezetben és az emberi testfelszínen élő mikrobaközösségek összessége, amelyek többsége a gyomor-bél rendszerben él. Ezek a mikrobaközösségek számos és sokféle baktériumot tartalmaznak, gombákat, vírusokat, archeákat és protozoonokat. Ez a mikrobiális közösség, vagy mikrobiota, a gazdaszervezetben nagyrészt egymással kölcsönösségi viszonyban tenyészik, és gondoskodik a bélben a tápanyagok anyagcseréjéről, kalibrálja az anyagcsere-működést, tanítja az immunr...

Therefore, use of probiotics for the treatment of eczema is currently not evidence-based. This update found no evidence of increased adverse effects with pro...

Can probiotics be used to treat allergic diseases?
Publication date: Available online 6 January 2015 Source:Journal of the Chinese Medical Association Author(s): Ren-Bin Tang , Jia-Kan Chang , Hui-Lan Chen Probiotics are proprietary formulations of specific microorganisms and quantified populations of live bacteria that are intended to confer a health benefit on the host. These different strains and combinations of microorganisms have a wide and varying range of clinical and immunologic capacities that can modify intestinal microbial populations in ways that can benefit the host. The enhanced presence of probiotic bacteria in the intestinal microbiota has been found to c...
