Visbiome Probiotic May Play a Role in Recovery of GI Functions in HIV Patients standard
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170502006014/en/Multi-Strain-Probiotic-Play-Role-Recovery-Critical-Gastrointestinal ROCKVILLE, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A newly released study published in the Journal ofImmunity, Inflammation and Disease and conducted by the Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, found a multi-strain, high concentration, probiotic formulation that helped reconstitute the physical and immunological integrity of the gastrointestinal lining in HIV-1-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is home to trillions of organisms which form a complex bacterial community, commonly referred to as the “gut microbiome.” A key function of the GI tract is to separate these bacteria from internal organs with a single layer of intestinal cells, called epithelial cells. The epithelial cells form a physical and immunological barrier to prevent entry of gut bacteria into the bloodstream. When this barrier breaks ...
