Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG Probiotics for Improved Gut Health
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) exhibits remarkable survival in the gastrointestinal tract, maintaining viability at rates 20-40% higher than other common probiotic strains when exposed to stomach acid (pH 2.0) and bile salts (0.3%). Clinical measurements show that LGG adheres to intestinal mucosa and can achieve concentrations of 107-108 CFU/g of feces during supplementation, significantly outperforming many commercial probiotic strains in colonization efficiency.
The fundamental challenge in probiotic therapy lies in delivering viable organisms that can both survive the harsh gastrointestinal environment and produce strain-specific metabolites that modulate host immune response and gut barrier function.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including novel encapsulation technologies for targeted delivery, strain-specific consortiums with synergistic effects, multi-layered formulations containing prebiotics, and genetic characterization of enhanced LGG variants. These and other approaches demonstrate how probiotic interventions are being optimized for clinical efficacy across various gastrointestinal disorders.

18. Controlling Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis with Probiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria that Produce Bacteriocins
Archana Patil - International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2024
Abstract: This study explores the potential of using probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that produce bacteriocins as a novel approach to controlling gut microbiota dysbiosis. Gut dysbiosis, characterized by an imbalance in the composition of the gut microbiota, is implicated in various health disorders. Probiotic LAB have gained attention for their ability to promote a balanced gut microbiota. Bacteriocin-producing LAB offer an added advantage by inhibiting pathogenic bacteria and promoting the growth of beneficial microbes. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the mechanisms of probiotic LAB and their bacteriocins in modulating gut microbiota composition. Additionally, key clinical studies and potential applications of bacteriocin-producing LAB in mitigating gut dysbiosis are discussed.
