Comparative Evaluation of the Antimicrobial and Mucus Induction Properties of Selected Strains against Enterotoxigenic .

Probiotics have been shown to bind to host receptors, which are important for pathogen adhesion and induce the host's production of defence factors. They can activate the goblet-cell-derived production of mucins, a major component of the mucus layer and a physical barrier participating in limiting the proximity of microorganisms to the epithelial layer. In the last decade, spp.
