LACTOBACILLUS
Lactobacillus / Lactobacillus. [Lat. lac, lactis = [apte; bacillus = bastonaf.} Gen de Lactobadllaceae, considerat uneori In relatie cu etiologia *cariei dentare, dar care, de obicei, nu este patogen. Produce prin fermentatie *acid lactic.A genus of gram-positive, acid-resistant bacteria in the
Lactobacillaceae family. We know of lactobacillus because of its use in making yogurt
and the conventional wisdom of taking it in one form or another after antibiotic therapy,
but it is an integral part of the colon and mouth flora, and is the critical acidifying agent
in vaginal flora. There is a growing body of rather ignored data showing the value of
regular consumption of a lactobacillus-containing food in immunosuppression, slow
virus, and candidiasis conditions.
