Lactobacillus salivarius

Lactobacillus salivarius is a well characterized, rod-shaped, Gram-positive species of probiotic bacteria. It is commonly isolated from human, porcine, and avian gastrointestinal tracts. L. salivarius is a lactic acid bacterium that has antimicrobial activity due to the production of bacteriocins, which directly inhibit pathogens. Modern discoveries have demonstrated the effectiveness of the bacteriocins of L. salivarius against specific pathogens such as those that are responsible for foodborne illness, acne and other skin conditions, and irritable bowel syndrome in humans.
