Commonly known as living bacteria that inhabit our digestive system, “probiotic” literally means
promotion of microorganism grown. While usually associated with health-promoting bacteria,
probiotics and probiotic supplements can include bacteria, bacterial spores, or fungi (yeast).
Common forms of probiotics include:
● Bifidobacterium spp.
● Lactobacillus spp.
● Bacillus coagulans (bacterial spore)
● Saccharomyces boulardii (fungus)
Probiotic names include a genus (first letter capitalized) and species (follows genus, usually italicized).
For example: Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Isolated or subtypes of a strain may also be specified and are usually indicated by extra letters or numbers after the name.
For example: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or Bifidobacterium longum BB536®.
Each genus, species, and subtype can have different actions in the body.
