Probiotics Could Be Used against Human Diseases

April 1, 2009: 09:13 AM EST
Probiotic bacteria could be used against human diseases, say Irish scientists who studied the effects on animals. The researchers studied three animal diseases that had human counterparts - bovine mastitis, porcine salmonellosis and listeriosis in mice (an often fatal form of food poisoning) — using bacteria from human volunteers. In all cases, the animals were significantly protected against infection and the team also successfully treated animals that were already infected.
