Статья: CULTURED LACTOBACILLUS DISTRIBUTION FREQUENCY AMONG HEALTHY YOUNG PEOPLE IN ARKHANGELSK

Introduction. Only a few out of the more than 200 known Lactobacillus species have been consistently and repeatedly associated with the human gastrointestinal tract. This number has recently been increased to more than 50 Lactobacillus species that have been repeatedly detected in the stools of healthy volunteers, including L. casei, L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus, etc. Some of them (e.g. L. rhamnosus) are rarely isolated from environments outside the intestine and are considered gut-autochthonous microorganisms. The level of lactobacilli can change in such disorders as diabetes mellitus, Crohn’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and others. Few studies have been conducted on the distribution in young residents in the northern territories.
