Essential Properties of Probiotics
The functional and specific positive biological effects of probiotics are strain-dependent. The most important properties of probiotics include acid and bile tolerance, adhesion to the human intestinal mucosa, temporary colonization of the human gastrointestinal tract, production of antimicrobial substances, and inhibition of the growth of pathogens. Probiotic bacteria's attachment to the intestine's wall and their colonization of the gastrointestinal tract is a vital precondition for their survival and functioning. Only probiotics with adhesive properties are thought to stabilize the intestinal mucosal barrier and contribute to the induction of immune effects. Adhesion may also administer routes of exclusion of harmful bacteria and keep them away from the epithelium.
