An insight into the functional alterations in the gut microbiome of healthy adults in response to a multi-strain probiotic intake: a single arm open label trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Probiotic supplements, by definition, provide a benefit to the host, but few studies have investigated the effect of probiotic supplements in healthy adult populations.

Purpose

The present, single arm, open label clinical trial, evaluated compositional and functional changes in the fecal microbiome of healthy adults after supplementation with a 14-strain probiotic.

Methods

We analysed the effect of a 14-strain probiotic blend (Bacillus subtilis NCIMB 30223, Bifidobacterium bifidum NCIMB 30179, B. breve NCIMB 30180, B. infantis NCIMB 30181, B. longum NCIMB 30182, Lactobacillus helveticus NCIMB 30184, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NCIMB 30186, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei NCIMB 30185, Lactip
