Lactobacillus
rhamnosus is primarily found in the small bowel and vaginal
tract. It is very prolific in growth, has a high tolerance
(resistance) to bile salts, adheres to the intestinal mucosa
and protects the intestinal tract against the invasion of
harmful microorganisms. This species of Lactobacillus does
not only colonize, acidify and protect the small intestine,
but it can quickly establish itself in the large intestine,
inhibit the growth of streptococci and clostridia, create
anaerobic conditions which favor the implantation of bifidobacteria,
and produce biologically desirable lactic acid. |
