Article Synopsis
- Influenza poses a significant public health risk due to how easily it spreads and the severity of complications it can cause; probiotics like Lactobacillus are considered safe and beneficial in managing influenza.
- A study tested the effect of Limosilactobacillus reuteri KBL346, sourced from healthy South Koreans, on mice infected with influenza, showing that it helped reduce weight loss and speed up recovery.
- Results indicated that both live and heat-inactivated L. reuteri KBL346 lowered inflammation in the lungs, improved survival rates, and positively altered the gut microbiome, suggesting it could be an effective probiotic against influenza.
